Stressed junior here! I've been feeling really overwhelmed with trying to figure out how much college will cost. I'm looking at the University of New Haven, but I'm not entirely sure what the cost would be. Can someone let me know, or direct me to where I might find this information?
Indeed, figuring out college costs can often seem like a daunting task. However, every college has a tool known as the Net Price Calculator which can provide an estimate of what it might cost you to attend. The Net Price Calculator considers things like tuition, room and board, books and supplies, and other fees, and subtracts the amount of financial aid that you might receive.
For the University of New Haven specifically, you can access their Net Price Calculator on their website (https://www.newhaven.edu/admissions/financial-aid/undergraduate/prospective/estimate.php). Remember, the result you get is just an estimate and may not fully reflect the actual cost you'll face when going to college, but it should offer a solid starting point.
Also, keep in mind that the cost of attendance includes more than just tuition. Typically you'll also need to budget for room and board (if you plan to live on campus), books and supplies, personal expenses, and potentially travel expenses.
Although this process might seem complex, it's an important one to help you understand college affordability better. It might be helpful to repeat the same steps for any school you're interested in, and then compare those results. Good luck!
