Hey guys, I'm a junior and I'm interested in applying to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) next year. I'm trying to get an idea of the costs, so could anyone let me know how much the room and board costs are at Pitt? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The cost of room and board at the University of Pittsburgh can vary based on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. In general, though, for the 2024-2025 academic year Pitt estimates that the cost of room and board on their main campus in Pittsburgh will be around $14,000-$15,000 per year.
Keep in mind that these costs can vary based on your personal choices for dorm and meal plan, and also tend to trend up slightly due to inflation and other factors. I'd advise you to visit Pitt's websites for housing and dining services to get the most updated information, and don't hesitate to reach out to these offices directly with any questions you have.
You could also consider contacting Pitt's financial aid office, as some forms of need-based aid or merit scholarships can cover living expenses, in addition to tuition. If you have specific questions about your family's financial situation and affording the cost of room and board, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you!
Good luck with your college search!
