Hello everyone, I'm a junior who's been exploring various colleges and Niagara University is on my list. I'm trying to get a handle of the cost of attendance there - tuition, housing, food, textbooks, etc. Can anyone help me out or tell me where I could find such info?
Niagara University provides detailed information about the cost of attendance on their official website, which should be your primary source for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Here are the basics you've specifically asked for:
- Tuition: For the 2024-2025 academic year, the undergraduate tuition for full-time students (12 to 18 credit hours per semester) is approximately $37,190 per year. Please note that this figure could increase slightly for the following year as universities tend to increase tuition fees annually.
- Room and Board: The cost for housing and meals can vary widely depending on the type of residential hall or meal plan you choose. The cost averages around approximately $20,000 per year. I would recommend that you check the Niagara University's website for the most accurate housing and meal plan costs.
- Books and Supplies: The average estimated cost for books and supplies is around $1,200 per year, but this can vary greatly depending on your major and whether you purchase new books, used books, or decide to rent.
- Other fees: Students are also responsible for other mandatory fees that go toward maintaining student facilities and services. For this academic year, the student fees are estimated to be approximately $2,205.
This sums up to approximately $60,595 per year before financial aid. Remember that this is an estimate and the actual cost may be slightly different.
Keep in mind that most students don't end up paying this "sticker price". After you apply, you may receive a financial aid package that includes scholarships, grants, and work-study that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. You would not have to pay back money received through scholarships and grants.
To get a better idea of what you might actually be expected to pay, consider using the net price calculator offered on the Niagara University website. This tool factors in both your family's financial situation and your potential eligibility for financial aid.
