Belmont Abbey College Tuition Costs?

I'm considering Belmont Abbey College for my undergraduate studies, but I'm a bit stuck on understanding the tuition. Can anyone provide insights into the typical costs a student can expect, beyond just the tuition itself like room and board, books, and other fees?

Sure, I can help with that information. When calculating your college costs, it's important to consider more than just tuition.

Belmont Abbey College, as of 2024-2025, has a listed tuition fee of around $19,500 per academic year. This is the base cost for your education.

Room and board are separate from tuition. Typically, the cost for room and board — which includes both your housing and meals at the college — is approximately $11,000 - $14,000 per year depending on the type of housing and meal plan you choose.

There are also additional costs beyond tuition and room and board. These additional fees can include things like student activity fees, technology fees, insurance costs, etc. You can expect these to add potentially anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 to your budget.

And then you need to factor in the cost of textbooks. The amount you spend on textbooks can vary widely depending on your major and whether you buy new, used, or digital books. A typical range could be anywhere from $0 (if you can find free resources or rentals) up to $1,200.

So, in total — including tuition, room and board, books, and fees — you could be looking at a cost of around $31,500 to $36,700 per year to attend Belmont Abbey College.

Keep in mind that these are estimates and may vary based on your specific circumstances. Also, these are costs before financial aid. Depending on your financial circumstance, you may be eligible for grants, scholarships, or work-study opportunities that can significantly reduce this cost.
