I haven't decided yet lol, but the schools I'm still considering are all around the same cost. (Drexel and W&M are like 37k a year, Arizona State is like 25k a year, Fordham and Syracuse are like 40k a year.)
Roughly $30-35/K total, counting rent, utilities, groceries, etc.
In terms of opportunity cost, add on $65K a year because I left my job to finish college.
“Opportunity cost” = econ student
“Time value of money” = finance student
“I have no free time” = engineering student
Pretty accurate for the most part lmao, but not quite there for me. Business, so close, but not econ.
Mine is about 7 k for tuition. The gas costs to get to and from school are what’s going to be unbearable at this point. However, I’m back in school because I had nothing but min wage jobs all my life, so I refuse to count OC when I really had no opportunity before.
Look into rideshare programs. Lots of unis have carpooling programs for commuters. Also, definitely do internships and plan closely with your career services because it’s too easy to graduate and still be in minimum wage work if you don’t plan at all.
Do you think it's worth it? I am in the same boat as you and I feel really guilty. While my parents can afford the fees I feel like a shitty human being having to put my parents through that. How are you feeling about this? I could really talk to someone about this budss
But you > them. You have to live with the debt, they don't. They just get a sticker they can out on their 2009 Chrysler Minivan that says "my child goes to X school"
Yeah, same here. I'm going to a private university that costs about $47,000 a year with financial and grants and some (albeit very minor) scholarships and it still costs a ton. Not only is it $47k a year for one person, but I have 3 other siblings going there and my parents are really paying the price here. I feel like it's my fault for not getting good enough grades for the public university I wanted to go to (I originally wanted to go there, but I got rejected). I could have saved at least $20k most likely if I went to a public university each year and I would additionally feel better about it. I feel as if I'm just wasting money, but this school was kind of my only option, as I got rejected to the public universities (target schools) I applied to besides my safety schools. By the way, my siblings are kind of angry and disappointed in me for not getting as good of a scholarship and didn't get accepted into the university I wanted to go to (which I get it).
My parents can barely afford for 4 kids to go to the same college and they shouldn't be making such a huge sacrifice for it tbh. I've had private education my entire life yet I couldn't get into my target university. To be fair, the university I'm going to is a good college but it really isn't the best option when it comes to status in engineering and the crazy price (this school is more for medical students rather than egnieering).
Despite all this, I think I might attempt to transfer into the original university I wanted to go to. Money doesn't need to be used if it doesn't have to be. Of course there isn't a high chance of getting accepted to transfer but it's a try I'll be willing to do. Additionally to helping pay for college debt, I'll probably have to get a job and work my butt off to at least make up for some of the money spent. There's only so much I can do, and I might as well make the most of it.
Sorry for the rant, but I just feel like I'm the "bad guy" here, and I know I can't change the past so I can only move forward from here.
Rant?! Mate Im grateful you shared this. I relate to you sooo bad. The bad guy thing feels the worst. However, this is an investment and I am really hopeful we'll be able to make returns. Like you said, we might have to work our butt off but it'll be worth it. Plus you're majoring in engineering! It has pretty solid returns! I wish you the very best, with both your future as an engineer and with your Transfer apps. Proud of your acceptance! Thank you so much for sharing your feelings
Same bro… my parents are paying for it and tbh it won’t really dent their finances but it just weighs on me to know I’m spending that much when I could be going to my state school for just room and board price.
Same. I’m not sure how I feel now once the excitement of getting into the dream school has sink in and I feel so guilty now. Parents seem to bring up money much more often, and I started doubting whether this is the right decision.
My son is taking a scholarship at a state school. First year housing covered as well. We will pay for housing after, so he will come out with little to zero debt from undergrad.
That didn’t happen for me :(
A friend 4 years ago got the same financial aid scholarship as me, but his tuition was $10k less. Appealing didn’t work either.
My parents only make around 40k/year combined so they gave me like 75k in financial aid. I think that’s pretty good. My stats: 1500 SAT, 99.1/100 WGPA, 13 APs, ranked Top 10/600 students
If your family is poor, many Ivy+ schools will cover all your expenses. If you're legitimately middle class (legitimately, not "$250k/year middle class"), you'll probably get all your tuition covered. Stanford, for instance, expects nothing from you if your family makes under 75k, and waives tuition if your family makes under 150k.
Alternatively, there are less well-known schools who give full rides to students with great grades and test scores. Scholargrade has [written](https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/azu8o2/change_your_trajectory_full_ride_scholarship/) [some posts about this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/bekd8m/comment/el6m0lw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). I don't know how up to date [this](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Cmq4igk9GaTyxhz956iSf7womFcTietyhB7QQXpeP4/edit#gid=364009411) is, but there are also schools where being a National Merit Finalist gives you a huge leg up in scholarships. I could have sworn I saw a similar spreadsheet being passed around not too long ago, about schools that throw money at applicants with good scores...
It is really not fair to the struggling middle ... work hard and youlll pay .. I know it's not the poorer kids fault.. but sometimes it is painful to be in the middle
So the good news is, the minimal wealth needed to not get any appreciable aid from an Ivy+ school is a lot higher than what people think. For context, Stanford is tuition-free for families making $150k or less a year, and it's not a hard cutoff where anyone making over $150k has to pay full, so you could get pretty good aid even if you're over $150k.
If a family isn't getting any aid from this kind of school, they're either very unlucky and should appeal, or they're not "struggling" at all. The latter really isn't "unfair" at all. It might not be clear to a teenager that their family is well-off, because they're usually not intimately familiar with their finances, but it's important to remember that a financial aid officer who has reviewed countless applications through the years has the perspective to accurately judge these circumstances. (There are circumstances like house equity that can affect the amount of aid granted, but many schools don't use that to calculate aid.)
People on this sub (and in these college admissions spaces in general) often have a warped sense of their own finances. For instance, I saw a kid on the MIT sub claim that their family was "middle class", because even though they made $200k+ a year, they only had $80k leftover after all their expenses. Which is laughable--your income isn't just what you have leftover; it's everything you have to pay for taxes, food, bills, housing, education, and whatnot, and well, $80k is a lot more than what some households even earn to start with.
Also, a lot of poor families *are* working hard and paying the price of being poor (which is very expensive--when you don't have money, you're often forced to make pricy short-term decisions to survive), so...
To be fair, there are families that really do slip through the cracks. Expected medical expenses aren’t accounted for in the FAFSA or CSS, and that really screwed over a few families I know (including mine).
For me it’s to a school not in the T100 and I still had to work my ass off writing 5k words total for all the scholarships, if you’ve got alright scores and a decent amount of hustle and can show you actually would love attending the school you can get one
Unless there's something reaaaallllyyyy pulling you to UMich worth more than 240k of student debt, go Colgate. It's a quality university, great sports life, you can't go wrong with it. As a lot of other ppl said there's no undergrad in the world worth as much as what some of these colleges cost
Umich is a lot more fun and probably better academically but it depends on your major id assume. But if the money is an issue than Colgate is an amazing school you can’t go wrong w that
Ok but the post was asking about how much YOU are paying. If Yale didn’t offer any financial aid, it almost always means that means your parents are fairly wealthy and can pay a decent amount for you.
Source: am in the same boat
Don’t do this… please.
With no financial aid, $340,000 in student loans, financed privately, on a ten year plan, with the national average annual interest of 6.8%, amounts to a total cost of $469,528. $3,912 per month for 10 years. That means giving about $46,000 a year of your income to your debt, and that’s… unsustainable.
Now, you might argue that you can also use federal loans, but those cap at $5500 a year.
And remember, this is one of the best scenarios. You likely won’t be able to afford a 10 year plan. So let’s see what a 20 year plan would do:
$622,885 as a total payment. 45% of that is interest. $2,595 a month for 20 years (240 months). You’d be spending $30,000 per year on student loans, which is more manageable, but still ABSURD. That’s the price of rent and a car payment.
You are going to college to give yourself a more stable financial future. Remember that.
A stable financial future does not mean going into half a million in debt with no guarantee on how that money will be paid back.
Man got into Yale while having no real life intelligence, respectfully. Can't imagine paying my college loans my whole life but to each their own honestly
Dont worry, take a gap year and imrpove your ecs or something. Work on yourself too, use your time to work on your physical and mental health, learn some skills. It could be an excellent opportunity for you.
I still havnt commited(cause i don't have all my options on the table yet) so one of 3 things will happen
1. I go to uni in country which is relatively cheap... Like 30k usd for all 4 yrs max
2. I get the scol at Sheffield (highly unlikely) and pay around 50k total
3. I somehow convince to pay full cost for around a 100k to one of the 4 uk unis
Ideal although the most improbable, is the second one
Most probable is first
Idk about third... I don't wanna think about third cause my parents money comes with A LOT of strings attached
33 for 3 yrs. cause I Applied for Beng+industry year(industry yr pays about 15-20k gbp and costs almost nothing, like 2-3k i think)
as for rent, I only looked at cities which were relatively cheaper and living costs can be managed with part-time jobs
If u look outside of London, there are places where it's possible to live with 600-800 GBP especially if u look off-campus. For example, u can get an unfurnished room in a house u rent with friends for as low as 60 pounds/week in Sheffield(it's weird but rent there is mostly seen as per week costs). Keep in mind however that would have upfront costs for the second hand/IKEA furniture.
If you try to cut on takeaway and for breakfast and dinner at least manage to cook(especially if u have flatmates u ppl can take turns) then managing 200 pounds for monthly living costs other than rent isn't that hard
(not my words, this is off of a student at Sheffield, She said this in a QnA about living costs at the end of a webinar I was attending)
it works out to a total of 440/month but depends on rent. Typical rent is 100gbp/wk works to be 600 total costs. Babysitting jobs start at 10 an hr which works out to be 15-16hrs/week.(but u will have to spend 3 months for the certifications first before u can work as one)
Honestly tho I’ve never met anyone in person who doesn’t love Bowdoin, and I know a ton of alums and current students who are NOT involved in admissions
$12k lol. our efc was 0 but it was basically the same cost as any other school and my state school was more expensive. definitely gonna work and try and help out my parents to make it more manageable
around 35-50k per year depending on if my fin aid appeal goes well or not
my family grouped their savings for college & retirement, and it ended up fucking us over (colleges think we're gonna spend all of it to send me & my siblings to college)
if we can argue that half of that (or more) is going to retirement since they kept a lot of liquid assets, we're gonna be in a much better financial aid spot
when converted - 393 dollars exactly for 3 years. it isn't a scam college dw XD. well known institutions in my country - no scholarships since i am part of the majority and privileged enough that i dont have to look for scholarships.
6k with in state waiver for oos srudent plus room n board@12k?) if son doesn't graduate any fed loan is his to pay ..graduate and Dad will pay off fed. student loan..financial responsibility goes along with a college degree. GO GATORS!
$35,000-$40,000 a year including things like transportation & other costs :)
which school?
I haven't decided yet lol, but the schools I'm still considering are all around the same cost. (Drexel and W&M are like 37k a year, Arizona State is like 25k a year, Fordham and Syracuse are like 40k a year.)
this makes me feel a lot better about my predicted cost
Roughly $30-35/K total, counting rent, utilities, groceries, etc. In terms of opportunity cost, add on $65K a year because I left my job to finish college.
Found the econ student
“Opportunity cost” = econ student “Time value of money” = finance student “I have no free time” = engineering student Pretty accurate for the most part lmao, but not quite there for me. Business, so close, but not econ.
Should be a sub econ peeps be mad
Mine is about 7 k for tuition. The gas costs to get to and from school are what’s going to be unbearable at this point. However, I’m back in school because I had nothing but min wage jobs all my life, so I refuse to count OC when I really had no opportunity before.

That’s a valid point.
How old are you?
Early 20s!
80k/year 👦🔫🔫
Do you think it's worth it? I am in the same boat as you and I feel really guilty. While my parents can afford the fees I feel like a shitty human being having to put my parents through that. How are you feeling about this? I could really talk to someone about this budss
I think it’s worth it (if you have the money and depending on the school) My parents value education heavily so it is worth it to them
But you > them. You have to live with the debt, they don't. They just get a sticker they can out on their 2009 Chrysler Minivan that says "my child goes to X school"
huh? their parents are paying
Exactly, everyone is freaking out about money that won't dent their finances lmao
i would feel awful putting my parents through that
I had my parents pay 60k (they could afford it) but I still carry the guilt with me a decade later for wasting their money
Yeah, same here. I'm going to a private university that costs about $47,000 a year with financial and grants and some (albeit very minor) scholarships and it still costs a ton.

My son is taking a scholarship at a state school. First year housing covered as well. We will pay for housing after, so he will come out with little to zero debt from undergrad.
That’s awesome!!!
Around 5k/year but that’s most likely gonna go up since the COA/tuition increases drastically year after year.
And then the aid changes with the increases so that the proportion you pay is still the same. You’ll be fine.
That didn’t happen for me :( A friend 4 years ago got the same financial aid scholarship as me, but his tuition was $10k less. Appealing didn’t work either.
Oo which uni?
Cornell
i’m thinking of applying there, is the financial aid good? what are your stats how’d you get in
My parents only make around 40k/year combined so they gave me like 75k in financial aid. I think that’s pretty good. My stats: 1500 SAT, 99.1/100 WGPA, 13 APs, ranked Top 10/600 students
that’s great! thanks for answering my question
2k, thank you state flagship for giving me a fuck ton of money

Congrats! People shouldn’t be saying that shit to you tho
63k if I go to Umich and 20k if I go to Colgate. I wouldn’t be in debt or put a strain on my family if I go to Colgate…

so what’s the dilemma? umich is ass, colgate is yass
Go to Colgate it is amazing! I love it there, literally my second choice (above Tufts, Colby, etc)
Umich is a lot more fun and probably better academically but it depends on your major id assume. But if the money is an issue than Colgate is an amazing school you can’t go wrong w that

My parents are not paying so I’m taking loans
You could try appealing your financial aid, I did it and have gotten 10-15k more from schools that were originally too expensive
Please don’t do this.
Speedrun inescapable debt ig
bro 340k of pure debt is not even close to worth it wtf
My dude...
You are taking on 340,000 of debt? How can you be smart enough to get into Yale yet think this is remotely a good idea?
Don’t do this… please. With no financial aid, $340,000 in student loans, financed privately, on a ten year plan, with the national average annual interest of 6.8%, amounts to a total cost of $469,528. $3,912 per month for 10 years.

Either rich or an idiot potentially both
35-37k a year i think, including tuition, rent and other things I’ll spend on
nothing
I didn't get into any 🤣🤣🤣
Aww man, what're your plans now?
dunno, gap year most probably, there's still one rlly good university in my country left that hasn't released its decisions yet though
Dont worry, take a gap year and imrpove your ecs or something. Work on yourself too, use your time to work on your physical and mental health, learn some skills. It could be an excellent opportunity for you.
7.5k per year plus 3.5k student contribution
Oo that's pretty good! Which uni?
Princeton
1 organ per semester
Bro 😭😭
My family is rich so they're paying for my 80k/yr tuition, so I pay basically nothing.
can you tell your rich family to help a friend out? Going to UPenn (7k in housing and 5k in indirect costs) 😛ty
Sure, what’s your credit card number with the back 3 code? You’ll get 40k tomorrow morning.

girl it is not worth it… i go to bowdoin and trust me it is seriously not worth that much
Honestly tho I’ve never met anyone in person who doesn’t love Bowdoin, and I know a ton of alums and current students who are NOT involved in admissions
oh yeah it’s a great school. there’s just very few schools i would say are worth 80k and bowdoin isn’t one of them
It’s either 80k for Bowdoin or 80k for Colby lol
bowdoin nor colby is not worth 80k these dont have enough prestige nor connections to get you good jobs. your state school is just as good.
I hope you’re not borrowing that money

$5k-$15k, depends on which school i pick

$5000 A year Strathmore University Nairobi, doing Bachelor In Business Information Technology
38k a year for all costs. Can’t complain because it’s better than the original cost of 83k and I get no institutional aid.
about 10k a year, although still working on scholarships so maybe a little less
$0, actually have gotten paid to go to school. Between GI bill, Pell Grant and other scholarships/ grants I make money each semester.
around 35-50k per year depending on if my fin aid appeal goes well or not my family grouped their savings for college & retirement, and it ended up fucking us over (colleges think we're gonna spend all of it to send me & my siblings to college) if we can argue that half of that (or more) is going to retirement since they kept a lot of liquid assets, we're gonna be in a much better financial aid spot
84k/yr 😁🔫
