Curious about Albany's tuition costs

Hello! I've been thinking about possibly heading to Albany for college. Is anyone familiar with their tuition cost? Any insight would be appreciated.

The University at Albany, which is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, provides a relatively affordable education, especially for in-state students. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for full-time, in-state undergraduates are about $7,070, excluding room and board. For out-of-state students, these costs can go up to about $27,460.

Remember, these are base tuition figures, and they might fluctuate a bit depending on specific program enrollment or any additional fees. Room and board, books, supplies, and personal expenses could add roughly an additional $20,000 to $22,000, but of course, these costs can vary significantly from student to student.

While these numbers can feel staggering, keep in mind they don't take into account any financial aid, grants, and scholarships you might be eligible for. Roughly 80% of new students receive some kind of need-based financial aid. Most students don't pay the 'sticker price' and financial aid packages can significantly reduce the cost. It's recommended to complete the FAFSA and apply for scholarships to see your tuition cost after aid.

Hope this information provides you with a ballpark estimation of Albany's tuition costs.
