Hey all, anyone know what the most expensive public college in Texas is? Trying to consider all my financial options before deciding on choices.
Hello! While the cost of attending college can depend on a variety of factors including in-state vs. out-of-state tuition, room & board, fees, and more, if we're comparing in-state tuition rates, the University of Texas at Austin is often identified as one of the priciest public institutions in Texas. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated in-state tuition and fees total range from approximately $11,000-$15,000 per year.
But keep in mind, this doesn't include room & board or other personal expenses. Once you factor in those elements, the cost of attendance rises significantly.
Another point of note - cost should be only one component in your decision. Other factors such as academic programs, campus culture, resources, and availability of financial aid/scholarships should also be taken into account. The net price calculator on the website of each college you're considering can be a very useful tool to assess the true cost of attending after financial aid.
