Hey all! I've been looking into Ohio State University as an option for next year, but I live in another state. Can anyone enlighten me on what the tuition would generally be for a non-resident? Any other charges I should keep in mind?
Hello! The out-of-state tuition at Ohio State University (OSU) is quite significant, reflecting the common situation for many public universities in the U.S. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition and fees for an out-of-state student at the undergraduate level is about $40,022 per year.
However, keep in mind, this number is not inclusive of everything. There are additional estimated costs for room and board, which is around $14,738 if you plan on living on campus. Books and supplies will tack on another estimated $1,234 on average. Then there are also various personal expenses and transportation costs, which can vary based on your individual needs, but are estimated to be around $2,766 per year.
So, the total estimated annual cost for an out-of-state student who lives on-campus at OSU can be as high as about $55,000. Of course, these are just estimates and the actual costs can slightly differ based on a variety of factors. Always the best option is checking the school's official website or contacting the financial aid office directly for the most accurate and updated information.
