The True Cost of UConn?

Hey everyone! I'm sure this has come up before, but could someone enlighten me on the cost of UConn's tuition? I'm trying to prepare myself for the financial burden and appreciate any info!

Sure, happy to provide some information! The tuition for the University of Connecticut (UConn) varies depending on your residence status.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, the approximate costs are:

- In-state students: Tuition and fees are about $17,010 per year.

- Out-of-state students: Tuition and fees are approximately $39,678 per year.

In addition to tuition and fees, you'll also need to consider the cost of room and board if you plan to live on campus. The estimated cost of room and board is around $14,380 per year.

It's important to remember, these figures represent a full year of undergraduate study (two semesters) and may vary slightly between different academic years. Furthermore, these costs do not include the cost of textbooks, personal expenses, transportation, and other indirect costs which could potentially add a couple of thousand dollars onto your expenses.

Also, do note that in many cases, these costs can be offset by financial aid. Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can offer you access to federal loans, grants, work-study, and potentially institutional aid from UConn. It's always a smart move to use the net price calculator on UConn's website (https://apps.financialaid.uconn.edu/faid/toolbox/npc/storrs/Storrs_NPC.html). This tool can give you a more personalized estimate of your potential costs after financial aid.

Lastly, remember that these are "sticker prices" - many students end up paying less due to financial aid and scholarships. The average net price of UConn (cost after financial aid) is $19,650 for in-state students and $42,318 for out-of-state students. Do check the university's website or contact their financial aid office for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
