Hey y'all, hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm aiming to study at Florida Atlantic University for a full 4-year term, so just wondering, what're we looking at in terms of total tuition costs? Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
As per the most recent updates, for Florida Atlantic University (FAU), in-state tuition is around $5,952 per year, whereas out-of-state tuition is around $20,584 per year. These figures are based on the tuition fee for full-time undergraduates, which includes fall and spring terms each year.
If you're planning to stay for four years, the tuition would multiply accordingly. So, for in-state, you're looking at around $23,808 over four years, and for out-of-state, around $82,336 over four years. Keep in mind, these are approximate calculations and the actual costs could differ slightly.
However, it's important to note that tuition is not the only expenditure. There are also fees that are not included in the tuition price, such as housing, meal plans, textbooks, and personal expenses. Also note that tuition costs tend to rise each year due to inflation and other factors, so take these numbers as a ballpark estimate, rather than an absolute figure.
To get a more accurate estimate, you might want to check out FAU's Net Price Calculator: https://tcc.ruffalonl.com/Florida%20Atlantic%20University/Freshman-Students. This tool will factor in financial aid to give you a better idea of what you might end up paying. Once again though, this will be a rough estimate, and not an absolutely accurate number.
