Hey community, West Virginia University (WVU) is on my radar but I'm not sure about the costs. Can anybody tell me what the in-state tuition is? And are there other costs I need to factor in? Appreciate the help!
Sure, I can help with that! For the 2024-2025 academic year, in-state tuition at West Virginia University (WVU) is approximately $10,104. This, however, only covers the basic tuition and you'll also need to factor in additional costs.
There are some other costs to consider when calculating the overall cost of your college education. First, there is housing and meals – if you plan to live on campus, dorm living is usually mandatory for first-year students at many colleges. At WVU, the estimated cost for room and board is about $12,900 per academic year.
Next up is the cost of textbooks and materials for your classes. This can vary based on your course load and the specific materials required for each course but on average this cost can range around $1,200 per academic year at WVU.
And last but certainly not least, don't forget to account for personal living expenses. Things like transportation, personal supplies, entertainment, and miscellaneous costs can add up.
So, while tuition is a major factor, it's clear there are several other pieces to the puzzle when tallying up the total cost of attending college. It's important to keep all these in mind when budgeting for college.
