This may be a common question but I'm prepping my college list and UNC Chapel Hill looks like a good fit. I'm from New York, so I'll be an out-of-state student. Anybody know what the tuition is like for someone in my situation?
UNC Chapel Hill is a great choice and offer a range of academic opportunities. As an out-of-state student, the cost of attendance will be different from that for in-state students.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, out-of-state students can expect tuition and fees to be around $40,000. This number is just the tuition and basic fees, and doesn't include room and board, books, or personal expenses.
Remember, these costs could be reduced depending on the financial aid for which you qualify. I'd recommend using the university's net price calculator to get a more personalized estimate of what you might actually pay after aid. This calculator will take into account your family’s financial situation making the results personalized and accurate. The final cost can often be much lower than the stated tuition, especially for students with financial need.
Keep these financially-focused tools and information in mind as you make your college decisions. The cost of attendance is a significant factor, but remember to consider FIT—financial, academic, social, and cultural—a philosophy that CollegeVine advocates. It's important to not only choose a school that's a good fit for your wallet, but also one that aligns with your academic and personal goals. UNC Chapel Hill has a lot to offer, so keep researching and good luck with your college journey!
