Hello! I'm interested in applying to Yale and was curious about the estimated cost of room and board there. Can anyone provide some insight on what to expect?
Hello! Yale University provides an estimated cost of attendance on their website, which includes room and board costs. In recent years, Yale has estimated that the cost of room and board combined is approximately $18,000-$20,000.
Do keep in mind that these costs can change and may differ in the future. Additionally, your personal experience might vary based on your housing arrangement and meal plan. Financial aid packages can also help cover these expenses, so be sure to explore those options as well. While the sticker price can be intimidating, Yale is known to be generous with aid, so don't hesitate to reach out to their financial aid office with any questions you have about your personal financial circumstances.
