Hey, y'all! I'm considering applying to Texas Tech, but I want to know about the costs before I do. Can anyone give me an idea of how much tuition and fees are for Texas Tech? And if there are any hidden costs I should be aware of? Thanks!
Hello! Texas Tech University's tuition and fees can vary depending on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for in-state undergraduate students were about $11,850 per year, while out-of-state undergraduate students had estimated tuition and fees of around $24,450 per year. Keep in mind that these costs are subject to change each year.
Additionally, you'll need to consider costs for housing, meal plans, textbooks, and other personal expenses. On-campus housing costs vary depending on the type of accommodation you choose, but the average cost is around $6,500 per year. Meal plan options average around $4,300 per year. Textbook and supplies costs can vary widely depending on your major but expect to budget around $1,200 per year for these.
Regarding hidden costs, it's essential to be aware of fees for specific courses or labs, technology, and any needed software or equipment for your major. Also, remember to budget for transportation and personal expenses.
Lastly, don't forget to complete the FAFSA to see what financial aid you may be eligible for, and also look into scholarships offered by Texas Tech and external organizations.
