UWM Tuition and Fees?

Hey, can anyone help me out? I'm seriously interested in UWM but a bit baffled about tuition and other fees. Can somebody break down for me how much I should expect to pay?

Sure, I can help you out. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) estimates the following yearly costs for an undergraduate student:

- Tuition and fees: For in-state students, this is approximately $10,398. For out-of-state students, it's around $22,398.

- Room and board: The cost is generally around $11,684, although this can vary depending on the specific housing and meal plan you choose.

- Books and supplies: UWM estimates this to be about $800 a year on average.

- Misc expenses: UWM also allows for about $2,000 for miscellaneous and personal expenses.

So, all in all, as an in-state student, you should plan for approximately $22,882 per year. If you're from out-of-state, your total would be around $34,882.

However, keep in mind that these are just estimates and actual costs can vary. The tuition rates are set by the Board of Regents in the summer for the next academic year, so they may change slightly.

Also, remember these numbers don't take into account any scholarships, grants, or work-study programs that could significantly reduce these costs. You should definitely explore those options as they can greatly diminish the overall cost of your college education.
