Hi everyone, I'm hoping to attend Oregon State University next year and wanted to get an idea about the tuition cost and possibly other fees for undergraduates. Can someone help me out?
Sure, happy to help! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees at Oregon State University (OSU) for an undergraduate are as follows:
For in-state students (Oregon residents):
- Tuition: about $4,829 per term.
- Living expenses: Living expenses, which include food and housing, is estimated by OSU to be about $5,462 per term.
For out-of-state students:
- Tuition: about $12,819 per term.
- Living expenses: Similar to in-state students, food and housing expenses amount to roughly $5,462 per term.
This is basic tuition plus room and board and doesn't cover books, supplies, personal expenses, and transportation, which can all add a substantial amount to your annual college costs. While these values are estimates and subject to change each year, they should give you a good sense of what you'll need to budget.
Remember, it's college sticker prices we're discussing here, so it's worth noting that many students do not end up paying the full sticker price. Financial aid, scholarships, and work-study jobs can all potentially decrease your actual out-of-pocket cost.
