I'm considering applying to Montclair State University, but I'm a bit concerned about the cost of attendance. Can anyone tell me what to expect for an out-of-state student, including tuition, room and board, and other fees? Any help is deeply appreciated.
Montclair State University is a public university in New Jersey and hence, the cost of attending it varies depending on whether you are an in-state or out-of-state student.
As an out-of-state student, for the 2024-25 academic year, you'd be looking at these main costs:
1. Out-of-state tuition: The tuition for out-of-state students is approximately $24,900 per year.
2. Room and Board: As for housing, the average cost for room and board may be around $16,730. This can vary, however, depending on the housing option you choose.
3. Other fees: There may also be additional on-campus fees such as the general fee ($1,122), books ($1,250), and miscellaneous fees ($2,270), travel ($1,290).
So, adding up all these costs, your total cost of attendance would be about $47,634 per year, before any financial aid.
These numbers are approximate and can vary from year to year so I would suggest checking the official website or contacting the financial aid office for the most accurate figures. Also, please remember to account for additional personal and academic expenses when budgeting for your education.
Also, if cost is a concern, consider applying for scholarships and financial aid. Many universities, including Montclair State University, provide assistance to students based on need, merit, or both. Even as an out-of-state student, there are opportunities to help finance your education.
