Hey you all. I've got eyes set on Washington University, but I'm a little in the dark about their tuition. Could anyone shine a light on the cost for me? Thanks a bundle!
Sure, happy to help with your question! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the base tuition for undergraduate students at Washington University in St. Louis is about $64,500 per year. But remember, this figure does not include additional costs such as housing, meals, books, transportation, and personal expenses which are all part of the total cost of attendance.
When you factor in these additional costs, the total cost of attendance averages to about $87,644 before any financial aid considerations. This total cost estimate is calculated based on housing in a standard double room and the "Silver" meal plan, which are both common choices for undergraduates.
Of course, actual costs can vary quite a bit depending on personal lifestyle and choices. For example, choosing a different housing or dining plan may change your total cost. And remember that many students do not pay the full sticker price thanks to financial aid and scholarships. You should use the school's net price calculator (https://financialaid.wustl.edu/how-aid-works/cost-calculators/) to get a personalized estimate. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to the financial aid office if you have more questions!
