Hey folks, so I've been seriously considering Drury as one of my top choices, but haven't been able to find all the specifics about tuition. Anybody got the deets on the tuition - and possibly the cost of living around the uni? TIA!
Sure, I'm happy to help with that! The tuition at Drury University for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $35,400. This number does not include any additional fees such as course or lab fees, which can vary depending on your major or specific courses you take. Keep in mind, this is just for tuition and does not include room and board or personal expenses.
Now, as far as living expenses are concerned, estimates can vary significantly due to individual spending habits and choices. Based on the university's estimates, room and board on campus will range around $3,000 to $7,000 with a typical meal plan included. If you were to live off-campus, certain factors such as utilities, rental prices, groceries, etc., would significantly impact the cost and it can vary extensively based on the housing market in Springfield, Missouri, where Drury is located.
Do remember to check out their financial aid opportunities and don't forget to submit your FAFSA, as this can really help offset the overall costs. If your Student Aid Index (SAI) is low, you could qualify for more aid, which can help ease the financial burden. Also, keep in mind that Drury University also offers many scholarships for various achievement levels and talents, which can make a significant difference in your costs.
Remember, college is a big investment and it's important to consider all potential costs, not just tuition! Good luck with your planning and decision-making process!
