Hi, I'm a high school junior considering applying to the University of Georgia. I'm trying to make a budget and was wondering if anyone has information on the current tuition rate, as well as the average room and board costs? Thanks!
Hello! As a public institution founded to educate the citizens of its state, the University of Georgia (UGA) has different tuition rates for in-state and out-of-state students. In recent years, the estimated tuition and fees for an in-state student have been about $12,080, while for an out-of-state student, the cost is around $31,120.
When it comes to room and board, the costs can vary depending on your choice of housing and meal plan. On average, UGA's room and board expenses range from around $10,000 to $14,000 per year, which includes both on-campus housing and meal plans.
Keep in mind that these figures are approximate and may change year to year. It's always a good idea to check UGA's official website for the most up-to-date information on tuition and fees. You can also use their net price calculator to get a more personalized estimate of your potential costs, factoring in any financial aid you might qualify for.
