I'm setting my sights on Seattle University for my undergraduate degree, but I'm trying to work out the financial aspect. Does anybody have an idea how much the tuition and fees add up to? Are there any students there who could give me a more holistic picture of the costs involved?
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the full-time undergraduate tuition at Seattle University is about $55,620 per year. However, keep in mind that this is only the tuition fee, and the full cost of attending Seattle University also includes room and board fees, books and supplies costs, personal expenses, transportation costs, and more.
To give you a rough breakdown, here is a general estimate:
- Room and Board: varies depending on your living situation, but it's typically around $15,300 annually for students living on campus.
- Books and supplies: approximately $800 per year.
Remember, these are just estimates and the actual costs may slightly vary. Plus, you should also set aside a bit for personal expenses like laundry, entertainment, and meals outside of the meal plan.
Importantly, don't forget about financial aid! Many students don't pay the sticker price. You must fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible to get an estimate of your eligible aid. You might qualify for grants and scholarships that don't need to be paid back, based on merit or financial need. Additionally, Seattle University has scholarships specific to their institution that you might want to look into.
