Just how much does Rivier University cost?

Hello there! So, I've been considering Rivier University as one of my top choices. Anyone have info on tuition, room and board, and other costs I should be aware of? Trying to plan my finances out, so all advice is welcome!

Tuition at Rivier University for full-time undergraduate students is currently $38,080 per year. That covers full-time enrollment for the fall and spring semesters.

The estimated cost of room and board at Rivier is around $14,000 per year. This can depend on your choices of meal plan and housing options, so it's worth exploring what residence halls and meal plans suit your lifestyle and budget.

You should also budget for books and supplies, which can vary greatly depending on your course load and the specific classes you are taking, but it's safe to budget around $1,200 per year for these costs. Additionally, there are other expenses to think about, like personal expenses and transportation, which could add another $1,000-$2,000 per year.

Remember, colleges also have miscellaneous fees (like health fees, activity fees, technology fees, etc.), so you could be looking at an additional $500-$1,000 there. You might want to add a buffer for unanticipated costs as well, just to be safe.

Also, remember that the costs mentioned above are the "sticker price" - many students will pay less after financial aid and scholarships. Be sure to fill out the FAFSA to apply for federal student aid, and check out any scholarships Rivier University offers that you might be eligible for.

Lastly, Rivier also offers a Net Price Calculator on its website (https://rivier.clearcostcalculator.com/student/default/netpricecalculator/survey), which is a helpful tool to estimate what your costs could look like after accounting for financial aid. This tool might give you a more accurate picture of what you could expect to pay. Good luck with your planning!
