Understanding Costs

When considering college options, it is important to be sure you are comparing true costs.

  • Some schools have low tuition costs but high fees (or vice versa), so be sure you look at the total net cost.
  • Compare cost per year or cost per semester.
  • Indirect costs are often standardized, so examine your particular situation: the school’s distance from your home, the cost of living in the area, transportation needs and other factors.

Please note, international students must provide the estimated total cost of attendance for one year in order to receive the Form I-20; this includes non-resident tuition, transportation, health insurance, books and supplies, housing, and miscellaneous costs.
