Hello everyone, I'm currently looking into colleges and I have my eyes on University of San Diego. I'm trying to get a full grasp on the cost of attending this university. That includes tuition, fees, textbooks, etc. If anyone has accurate information or even personal experience, your help would be highly appreciated!
The University of San Diego for the academic year 2024-2025 estimates the full cost of attendance, which includes tuition, fees, room and board, books, transportation, and personal expenses to be approximately $80,754.
Here's how the numbers break down:
- Tuition: About $58,420
- Standard room and board: Roughly $17,200
- Fees (student government, technology, health services, tuition insurance, etc.): About $5,064
- Books and supplies typically range around $1,000 but can vary depending on course load and specific requirements.
- Personal expenses like laundry, personal hygiene, cell phone plans, eating out, etc., can run about $1,000.
- Transportation costs will vary based on your personal situation.
These estimates are an average and actual costs can vary greatly depending on personal lifestyle, travel costs, and whether you buy new or used textbooks or rent them.
Remember, these are "sticker prices" and don't take into account financial aid or scholarships, which can significantly lower the cost. Always use the net price calculator provided by the university to estimate your personal cost after financial aid.
