Hey there! I've been researching Saint Anselm and I'm really interested in applying. However, I'm a little concerned about the cost. Does anyone know what their current tuition is? And are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
Hello! Tuition is indeed an important consideration when selecting a college. As for Saint Anselm College, the estimated cost for a full-time undergraduate student in the 2024-2025 academic year is around $49,000. This amount generally covers tuition and associated college fees, but it does not include housing, meals, books, and other personal expenses.
In addition to standard tuition, there may be some extra costs associated with attending Saint Anselm. For example, you'll need to account for room and board, which is roughly another $16,000 to $18,000 per year. Also, there may be some marginal costs like health insurance (if you don't already have coverage), transportation, personal expenses etc.
In terms of "hidden" fees, most colleges, including Saint Anselm, charge a modest fee for specific services like printing, gym facilities, or lab materials for certain courses. You should do a deep dive into their website or contact the bursar's office directly for detailed info on any extra costs you might incur.
It's worth mentioning that the cost of attendance can be offset by financial aid. Saint Anselm offers both need-based and merit-based scholarships to eligible students. I encourage you to look into this and file a FAFSA form as soon as you can.
Remember, the sticker price of tuition might not necessarily be what you end up paying, so don't be scared off immediately by the costs. Always check into financial aid options and see what the colleges can offer you. Best of luck with your application!
