I've been looking into the University of Utah, and I'm trying to plan my finances accordingly. Can someone share the total cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board, and other expenses I should consider? Thanks for any help!
The cost of attendance at the University of Utah varies depending on factors like residency status, housing choices, and personal expenses. Here's a breakdown of the estimated costs for undergraduate students for the 2024-2025 academic year:
For Utah Residents:
- Tuition & Fees: $12,424
- Room & Board: $15,800
- Books & Supplies: $1,240
- Transportation/Travel: $2,000
- Personal Expenses: $7,700

For Non-Residents:
- Tuition & Fees: $34,900

- Books & Supplies: $1,240
- Transportation/Travel: $2,000
- Personal Expenses: $7,700
- Total Cost of Attendance: $61,640
Keep in mind that the above estimates are for one academic year (two semesters) and can vary depending on individual circumstances. Also, tuition rates and fees may change, so it's essential to stay up to date with the university's website for the latest information.
In addition to tuition, room and board, it's essential to remember other costs like personal expenses (clothing, entertainment, etc.) and transportation. If you're bringing a car to campus, there may be parking fees too.
Lastly, don't forget to factor in financial aid and scholarships into your financial planning. Fill out the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for federal, state, and university financial aid programs. You may qualify for grants, work-study, or low-interest loans. Additionally, seek out scholarships, both from the University of Utah and external organizations, to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
