Hey y'all, I'm really interested in Tulane but I've heard it can be quite costly. Does anyone have some info about the overall cost including tuition, housing, and other expenses? Would love to hear any information, thanks!
Tulane University can indeed be quite expensive, considering it's a private institution. Here's a rough breakdown of the costs:
- Tuition & Fees: Expect to pay around $68,678 per year.
- Room & Board: This depends on the kind of housing you opt for, but a good average estimate is about $18,868 per year.
- Books & Supplies: This can vary widely, but a safe average estimate is roughly $700 annually.
- Personal & Miscellaneous Expenses: This includes transportation, laundry, recreation, etc. This can also differ greatly based on personal lifestyle, but a rough estimate is around $2,000-$4,000 per year.
So, your total cost of attendance would approximately sum up to around $90,000 per year. However, remember that these are just estimates, and the actual costs could be higher or lower, depending on various factors. So, while the sticker price may seem quite high, the final cost can be significantly reduced depending on your personal circumstances, financial need, and merits. You can also use the net price calculator on the Tulane University website to get a better idea of the cost specific to your financial situation.
Finally, please don't hesitate to consider applying for outside scholarships. Every little bit can help in reducing the cost of your education.
