Hey, guys! So, I'm a Massachusetts resident, heavily considering Boston University. Is their in-state tuition significantly cheaper than out-of-state tuition? Appreciate any insight you all have!
Actually, unlike some state universities that offer a lower tuition rate for in-state students, Boston University follows a different model. BU is a private institution, and as such, they do not differentiate their tuition rates based on residency status. So, the cost of tuition is the same for Massachusetts residents, out-of-state, and international students, which is $66,670 per year.
I recommend checking out BU's official website for the most current information on tuition and fees. Also, keep in mind that financial aid opportunities are available and can significantly offset these costs. Don't forget to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to see what federal aid you qualify for as well.
