Hey guys! I'm currently a junior trying to prepare for my college journey. Bentley University has been on my radar, but does anyone know the usual price range for attendance there (tuition + room/board)? Seems pricey, but worth it?
Bentley University, like many private institutions, does have a high sticker price. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition is approximately $61,000. Room and board costs are additionally around $20,000. This brings the total cost to approximately $81,000 per academic year prior to any financial aid or scholarships.
It's important to understand that most students don't actually pay the sticker price. Financial aid can significantly reduce the cost. Bentley University does offer merit scholarships to students upon admission, and you'll also be considered for need-based aid when completing the FAFSA form and any other required financial aid processing forms.
Every student's financial situation is unique, so it's good to estimate your own costs by using Bentley's Net Price Calculator, which can give you a rough idea of what you might pay after scholarships and aid.
While the cost is certainly a factor to consider, you also want to weigh the benefits of the education and experiences you'd receive at Bentley. Their strong programs in business education and the potential for high earning potential post-graduation can make it a worthwhile investment. However, this decision is personal and depends on your financial situation, how much you value the Bentley education, and what other colleges you are considering.
