Hi y'all! I've been looking at Binghamton University as one of my top college choices, but I'm a bit confused about the tuition fees breakdown. How much do I have to allocate for base tuition, room and board, and other mandatory fees? Thanks in advance!
Binghamton University divides its estimated cost of attendance into multiple components. While the exact amounts might slightly fluctuate each year, here's a good estimate for the 2024-2025 academic year:
1. Tuition: The base tuition for in-state residents is around $7,070 per year. For out-of-state residents, it's around $26,950 annually.
2. Room and Board: Residential costs largely depend on your housing selection and meal plan. However, the estimated average cost for room and board is approximately $18,809 per year.
3. Fees: Binghamton University also incurs several mandatory fees like the Student Activity Fee, Broad-Based Fees (which include technology, health, and transportation services), and the Academic Excellence and Success Fee. Combined, these can add up to around $3,293 per year.
Therefore, the total estimated cost per year for in-state residents can be about $29,172, and for out-of-state residents, it can be around $49,052. Keep in mind these are just base costs and additional expenses like books, supplies, and personal expenses may increase the total, so be sure to add some buffer in your budgeting. Also, be aware that the university's financial aid office can provide assistance to eligible students to offset these costs.
