Let's talk Johns Hopkins University cost

Hello everyone, Johns Hopkins has always been a dream school for me but I'm a bit concerned about costs. Can anyone share accurate information or personal experiences about the cost of attendance (tuition, room, board, etc.) at Johns Hopkins University? Thanks a lot in advance!

Absolutely, I can provide some information on this. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated total cost of attendance at Johns Hopkins University includes tuition, mandatory fees, room and board, and some additional costs. You should keep in mind that these are estimates and the actual cost may vary for each student.

Tuitions and Fees: The university recently set the tuition and fees for undergraduate students at approximately $65,230. This covers most academic and support services, including the cost of instruction, labs, and library facilities.

Room and Board: Students living on campus can expect to pay roughly $12,000 for room and board. Inevitably, this cost can fluctuate depending on housing options and meal plans chosen.

Books and Personal Expenses: Additionally, the university estimates that a student might spend another $1,400 on books and $1,500 on personal expenses. However, please keep in mind that this amount will also depend on each individual's spending habits and the specific requirements of their chosen course of study.

Health Insurance: Johns Hopkins also requires all students to have health insurance. If you don't have a health insurance policy, you can buy one from the university, which costs around $3,100 for academic year coverage.

This brings the total estimated cost of attendance to approximately $80,130 per academic year. But again, these costs are estimates and the actual expenses can vary by student.

If the cost of attendance is a concern, I recommend that you explore financial aid options. Johns Hopkins is committed to making education affordable and meets 100% of the demonstrated need for accepted students. Through grants, work-study opportunities, and loans, a substantial amount of financial aid can be made available to students who have demonstrated financial need. Please remember to submit your FAFSA and CSS Profile by the respective deadlines to be considered for financial aid.
