<p>from what I can gather on their website, the cost of attending UT is around 30k total for instate for 4 years. I am baffled because this is pretty cheap for a university...does this include tuition, housing, food, and books?</p>
<p>the link: Tuition</a> and Costs | Why UT? | Be a Longhorn</p>
<p>If you read that first line, it says 2009-2010. 22,000-27,000 for one year.</p>
<p>oh you’ll be well under debt dont be so baffled yet</p>
<p>definitely not…especially if you live on campus</p>
<p>lol its about 80-90k for 4 years in-state buddy, don’t get too excited</p>
<p>I was sure I read it wrong and it seems I did, thats why I came on here to confirm, I wasn’t getting too excited. the wording just confused me when they said “Estimated Total Cost of Undergraduate Education (Fall 2009Spring 2010)” being 27k.</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>27k? great… looks like it’ll be about 110k for 4 years now</p>
<p>Add $22k per year for OOS!</p>
<p>Oh, that number has gotta be in-state tuition only and is at the past year rate. Tuition has been increasing much faster than general inflation. I’d expect the next 4 instate years of tuition and req’d fees to exceed 40,000. Certainly their figure does not cover living expenses and books. Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>I recently earned both a BA (Plan II) and BSChE. I paid in-state tuition. The total cost - tuition, fees, books, rent, utilities, food, gasoline, car insurance, renters insurance, etc. - of my five years at UT: ~$120K. The Army College Fund/MGIB and merit scholarships covered all but $5K of that. Apply for scholarships!</p>
<p>@Stan: Way to plan, Stan!! Awesome for you. Congrats!</p>
