I'm super pumped about possibly going to Denver University, but I'm from the East Coast. I'm thinking about the tuition... what's it like for out-of-state students like myself? Can anyone provide some figures or experiences? I'm feeling a bit stressed about this seriously huge number.
Glad to hear you're interested in Denver University! While tuition can feel overwhelming, it helps to break it down. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition for Denver University is approximately $60,048. Keep in mind this cost does not differ for in state and out-of-state students as it is a private university.
Remember also that this cost doesn't factor in other expenses like room and board, books, supplies, personal expenses and travel. Adding these, the total cost of attendance might be closer to $82,634. The exact number will depend on which housing option you choose and how much you budget for personal expenses.
However, remember to factor in potential financial aid. Denver University is known for offering a host of scholarships and grants, and about 93% of students receive some form of financial aid. So, apply for as many aid and scholarship opportunities as you can. This can help lower your total cost considerably.
Another effective tool to gauge your expenses is the Net Price Calculator (https://www.du.edu/admission-aid/financial-aid-scholarships/undergraduate-financial-aid/price-and-affordability/npc). This tool helps you estimate your personal cost of attendance after factoring in projected financial aid, making the cost of Denver University more precise and possibly more manageable.
It's normal to feel stressed about tuition costs, but remember, many students have been in the same shoes, figured out their finances, and flourished at DU!
