Pace University's total costs: Tuition, Room, Board etc.

What’s up? I’m a high school junior, and I’m thinking about applying to Pace University. I’ve looked at the tuition, but I also want to factor in other costs like room and board. Can somebody give me a breakdown of the total cost to attend Pace, including stuff like housing and meals?

Of course, happy to help out. When considering any university, it is important to look at the entire cost of attendance and not just the tuition. For Pace University in particular, the cost of attendance includes direct costs such as tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees, combined with estimated indirect costs such as books and personal expenses.

1. Tuition: The tuition at Pace University for full-time students is approximately $51,382 per academic year.

2. Room and Board: This would vary a little based on your personal choices, but on average it's about $23,800 per year. This includes both your housing (dormitory or university-provided apartment) and your meal plan.

3. Mandatory Fees: The school also charges some mandatory fees, that come to around $1,908 per year. This includes things like the student service fee and the technology fee.

4. Books and Supplies: The estimated cost for books and supplies is around $100 per year, but this could vary quite a bit depending on your major and the specific classes you take.

5. Personal Expenses: Lastly, Pace estimates that students will spend around $1,654 per year on personal expenses. These can include things like laundry, toiletries, travel, leisure activities, etc.

6. Transportation: These costs are estimated at $600 per year.

Keep in mind these costs could vary slightly and these are all estimates. It's great that you're planning ahead for these expenses. Being well-prepared financially is just as important as being prepared academically.
