What's the cost of attending Roanoke College?

Hey everyone, I'm currently looking into attending Roanoke College after I graduate. Does anyone know about the associated costs? I'd like to know the average tuition and fees, room and board, and any additional expenses I'd need to budget. Thank you!

Sure, I can help with that. For the 2024-2025 academic year, here's a breakdown of costs associated with attending Roanoke College:

- Average Tuition and Fees: The tuition and fees combined for the academic year ranged around $36,040.

- Room and Board: The typical cost for both room and board is estimated to be around $15,000 per year.

- Books and Supplies: As for books and other educational supplies, this can vary greatly depending on your course load and major, but a good average estimate would be about $1,000 - $1,200 per year.

- Personal Expenses: This category includes costs for laundry, cell phone plans, entertainment, and other miscellaneous expenses, and varies notably depending on the student. An average that many students find adequate might range from $2,000 - $3,000 dollars per year.

All these costs add up, bringing the total estimated cost to be approximately $53,000 – $55,000 annually.

Keep in mind, these costs do not include any financial aid or merit scholarships you might receive, which can significantly offset the sticker price. To get a more accurate estimate of what you'll end up paying, I would suggest using Roanoke’s Net Price Calculator available on their website (https://admapp.roanoke.edu/netcalc), which takes into consideration your family's financial situation and any potential financial aid.

Remember that other costs might also include transportation, especially if you live far from the college. Also, any study abroad programs or off-campus activities might lead to extra expenses, so it's always a good idea to plan for a buffer in your budget.
