Hey, I'm a junior and looking at Loyola University (doesn't matter which at this point) as an option for me. Do you guys know what the cost of attending is like, not just tuition but assuming housing, food etc. are on me. Thanks in advance.
Hello there!
Loyola University is a private institution, and its costs may be a little higher than public universities. As of now, for the 2024-2025 academic year, the base tuition for an undergraduate student at Loyola University Chicago, for instance, is approximately $52,000 per year.
In terms of room and board (which includes both housing and a meal plan), you can expect to pay around $18,000 per year. This may vary slightly depending on the type of dormitory or campus residence you stay in, and the meal plan you opt for.
You will also need to factor in additional costs like books and supplies, which are estimated at about $1,500 per year. Personal expenses and transportation costs can also add up, so do budget for those.
Remember that these are estimated expenses, and the actual costs can vary.
Importantly, these figures don't take financial aid into account. Most students at Loyola University receive some form of financial aid, whether in the form of scholarships, grants, or loans. Good news is that Loyola University Chicago does not have an application fee which might help to lower your total cost a bit.
Finally, always ensure to check the latest costs directly from the university's official website or the financial aid office. The information there would be the most current and accurate.
