School Costs

Post Reply New Topic

I need to know something about the cost of going to school:

Is it normal to spend between $15,000 and $20,000 per year to go to college out-of-state? This would include room and board, and books, and tuition.

I did an estimate on how much it would go to some of the schools I applied and was accepted to.

University of Montana would cost approximately $40,000 total, and Boise State would cost $37,000--this is out of state tuition.

UT San Antonio and UT El Paso were both in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. Then again, I am a resident of Texas.

Yeah, that's pretty normal.

Sadly, yes.

Yep. If you're going to go out of state, sometimes it's better just to go to a private school since tuition is the same for everyone.

im out of state too not sure how you're figureing your costs as these are just state schools. im in geomorpology now, hate that class its so far over my head

40k for u of m? im going to montana state and its not nearly that much somewhere around 22 i think , yay loans

I found out that there was an issue with one of my classes at the U of Montana. I am majoring in geology, and one of the required classes is a class called "earth materials" It was supposed to be offered in the spring semester 2007, but it turned out that it wasn't. And it was a prerequisite for any of the other geology classes. So this means that if I went to the U of MT, I would be going part-time an extra semester. I am only factoring the semesters in which I would be going to school full-time in terms of student loans, and UM would cost $34,000. Boise State would cost $28,000 for the full-time semesters there.

Montana State is the one in Bozeman, right? I would have been going to U of Montana, which is in Missoula. I guess the cost varies by school.

Also, I am transferring, and would be a junior when I entered the college of choice. Plus I am out of state (I am currently liiving in Texas).

But I am leaning more toward Boise State now. But both Idaho and Montana are bargains as far as out-of-state schools go. The schools in the midwest and northeast are much more expensive.

tuition for the private school i go to is about 37,000 but i think most peolpe pay around 20,000
