I'm looking at Lawrence Technological University as one of my potential choices but I'm a bit unsure about the cost. Can anyone clue me in on how much I'll be looking to pay overall if I choose to study there?
Based on the most recent data, the total cost of attendance at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) is approximately $55,000 per year. This includes not only tuition, but also fees, books and supplies, room and board, and other living expenses.
Here is a breakdown:
- Tuition: $43,650: This is the cost for full-time undergraduate students taking 12-18 credits per term (two terms per academic year).
- Room and Board: $11,930: This is the average cost for on-campus housing. Your actual costs may vary depending on your housing selection (e.g., single room vs. double room).
- Books and Supplies: $1,600: This is an average estimate. The exact cost will depend on your major and course selection.
- Fees: $2,700: This includes various fees such as service, technology, activity, and health fees.
- Transportation and Miscellaneous Expenses: ~ $2,000: This is an estimate of additional expenses throughout the year, including personal expenses and travel to and back from campus.
However, keep in mind that many students do not pay the full "sticker price." After scholarships, grants, and other financial aid, the net price (cost after aid) at LTU is about $28,000 per year on average. Actual costs may be lower if you qualify for additional financial aid such as student loans, state aid, or outside scholarships. Therefore, it's recommended to fill out the FAFSA to see what financial aid you're eligible for and to use the net price calculator on the school's website to get a more accurate estimate based on your family's financial situation.
