Guys, I'm considering applying to the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I'm wondering, what's the actual cost of attendance, not just tuition but with all expenses considered? Any insights from current students or people in the know would be really appreciated.
The total annual cost of attending NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) can greatly vary depending on your personal circumstances. Keep in mind that all these numbers are rough estimates and the exact amounts can change. That being said, for the 2024-2025 academic year, the approximate costs are:
1. Tuition and Fees: For in-state students, it can be around $19,022. For out-of-state students, the tuition and fees can be approximately $35,934.
2. Room and Board: This generally averages around $15,000.
3. Books and Supplies: Depending on your major and whether you buy or rent your textbooks, this can be around $2,750 per year.
4. Personal Expenses: This can cover everything from travel costs to and from school, laundry, toiletries, entertainment, and other miscellaneous expenses. This could add approximately $3,380.
5. Transportation: These costs are estimated at $1,200 per year
So, a rough estimate for the total cost per year might be about $41,352 for an in-state student and around $58,264 for an out-of-state student.
However, these costs are before any financial aid is applied. If you qualify for scholarships, grants, or other aid, the final cost you'd have to pay could be significantly reduced. It's always a good idea to use the net price calculator provided on the NJIT website to get a more personalized estimate of what you might pay after aid: https://njit.clearcostcalculator.com/student.
Remember, this is just an estimate and actual costs could be higher or lower. The final costs will depend on a variety of factors, including which housing option you select and your personal spending habits. It's also worth noting that these costs could increase each year due to inflation and other factors. Always best to plan ahead and have a budget in place!
