Hello! I've been thinking about applying to Notre Dame because I really enjoy their ethos and community. However, I'm a bit stressed out about the financial side of things. How much exactly does a year cost at Notre Dame, including tuition and living expenses? Any useful resources or methods to figure it out?
Hello! You've pointed out a very important aspect of the college application process: understanding the cost. At the University of Notre Dame, for the 2024-2025 academic year, the comprehensive cost which includes tuition, room, board, health insurance, fees, books, and personal expenses, is around $86,125.
However, keep in mind, this is the sticker price and not what most students pay. Notre Dame is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, which can significantly decrease this cost.
One of the best resources to estimate your expenses is to use the Net Price Calculator provided on the university's financial aid website. The calculator considers your family’s financial circumstances and offers an estimate of the financial aid you might be eligible for, which will give you a more accurate picture of your actual expense.
Remember, college costs can be daunting, but there are many resources and forms of aid to help you. If you get accepted to Notre Dame and the financial aid package isn't sufficient, you could also reach out to the financial aid office to discuss your situation—they may be able to help.
