Hey all! Genuinely interested in UCLA but I'm an out-of-state student and I understand that means I might pay much more. Could someone provide me with the approximate yearly cost, including tuition, room, and board? Your help would be much appreciated!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some details! For an out-of-state student at UCLA, you can expect a few different types of fees in your total cost of attendance.
Firstly, Tuition and Fees: UCLA's out-of-state tuition for the 2024-2025 school year is about $15,154. Added to this is the Non-Resident Supplemental Tuition, which is approximately $34,200. Both these amounts together come to around $49,354 just for tuition and fees.
Next, Housing and Meals: Living costs at UCLA will depend on whether you choose to live on-campus or off-campus. For on-campus housing with a meal plan, it's roughly $18,369 for the academic year.
Additionally, there are other expenses to keep in mind such as Books and Supplies (around $1,641), Transportation (estimated at $778), and Personal expenses (estimated to be $2,226).
Therefore, when summed up, the total estimated cost of attendance for an out-of-state student living on campus at UCLA is around $76,259. This amount can vary based on personal expenses and chosen housing options.
Remember, these costs are prior to any financial aid. Scholarships, grants, and loans can help ease these costs, so definitely consider applying to any financial aid for which you may be eligible. UCLA's Financial Aid office can offer support for these applications and give you a better idea of what your actual cost might be.
