Harvard university price per semester?

Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to make a comparison between per semester costs of different universities. Could anyone let me know what the price per semester at Harvard is? Including all the extra expenses as well. Thanks!

The tuition at Harvard University for the 2024 - 2025 academic year is around $56,550. As there are two semesters in the academic year, the per semester cost for tuition alone would be around $28,275.

Additionally, you should take into account the varying costs of room and board, fees, and personal expenses. Room and board are typically around $21,190 and personal expenses could add another $3,500 per year to your total. As a rough estimate, you could add half of these costs to the per semester tuition cost since these are also typically spread over two semesters.

Do remember, though, that Harvard does have a relatively generous need-based financial aid system. For families earning less than $85,000 per year, they pay nothing towards the cost of attendance. If your family earns between $85,000 and $150,000 per year, you'll typically pay between 0 and 10% of your annual income. So your actual cost will very much depend on your financial situation and the financial aid package you might be offered if accepted.

This should give you a ballpark figure to work with for your comparison, although the numbers can vary slightly from year to year. Also, remember to check the specific costs for your program of interest and factor in any other potential expenses, such as travel and books.
