Can anyone give me an estimate of the cost of attendance at VA Tech?

Hey guys, I'm looking into Virginia Tech and I'm just a bit curious about the overall cost. Including tuition, room and board, and other expenses, what's the approximate cost of attendance? Hoping to get some insight from current students or recent grads. Thanks!

Hello! The cost of attendance at Virginia Tech can vary depending on factors such as your residency, housing choices, and personal expenses. Here are the estimated costs from the 2022-2023 academic year:

For Virginia residents:

- Tuition and fees: $13,991

- Room and board: $9,589

- Books and supplies: $1,200

- Personal expenses: $1,926

- Transportation: $0 (commuter) to $2,250

Total: $26,706 to $28,956

For out-of-state residents:

- Books and supplies: $1,200

- Personal expenses: $1,926

- Transportation: $0 (commuter) to $2,250

Total: $46,388 to $48,638

Please note that these figures are approximate and can change. It's important to account for personal spending habits and the specific housing options you choose, as the room and board costs can vary. Additionally, these estimates don't factor in any financial aid, scholarships, or grants you may receive, which could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

I recommend using the net price calculator on Virginia Tech's website to get a more personalized estimate based on your financial situation. This tool will help you get a better understanding of the actual costs you may face. And you can always reach out to their financial aid office directly with any questions you have about cost of attendance or your eligibility for aid.
