Hello peeps! I've got UC Davis pretty high up on my college list right now. However, I'm kind of struggling to find comprehensive info about the cost of tuition and other expenses. Can anyone here help me understand how much I should expect to pay as an incoming freshman?
Knowing the cost of attending a university is definitely essential as it can significantly influence your final decision. Now, the tuition can vary a lot based on whether you're an in-state student or out-of-state/international. For Californian residents, UC Davis estimated the total cost of attendance (including tuition, room and board, books, personal expenses, health insurance, and transportation) to be around $44,796 for the 2024-2025 academic year. On the other hand, out-of-state students should expect a significantly higher cost due to non-resident supplemental tuition, making the total cost of attendance around $78,996.
Just keep in mind these are estimates and the actual costs can fluctuate, especially when it comes to personal expenses.
But don't forget about financial aid. UC Davis provides a number of aid options to help students cover these costs. They offer grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and loans. UC Davis also has various resources to help you estimate your financial aid. And don't forget to fill out the FAFSA to calculate your Student Aid Index (SAI), as it's required for most types of financial aid.
You may find it helpful to reach out to the UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships Office for more detailed and personalized information. They can provide guidance on how to navigate the financial aid process.
