<p>Tuition stays the same every year after you are admitted, right?</p>

2

<p>No, it increases by apprx. 5% each year.</p>

3

<p>really? Can anyone else confirm this or find it on the website?</p>

4

<p>Search “tuition increase” or something…</p>

5

<p>tuition stays the same I believe. Fees change such as housing etc. so the cost goes up each year</p>

6

<p>Oh, okay, nevermind! I thought I read that it did…</p>

<p>Actually, Modulation, I just read an article that seemed to agree with you. Any current students? This actually makes a huge difference as I only have merit aid!</p>

8

<p>Well, it’s not going to increase a lot, and I’m only on merit aid as well.</p>

9

<p>by my quick calculations, even if it only increases by 6% a year that’s almost $2500 per year. That’s a lot to me!</p>

<p>Tuition used to increase less for current students. But that ended a couple of years ago. Now tuition is the same for incoming and current students. You need to figure the 5% or more increase every year into what you can afford. Tuition and room and board increased at slightly different amounts but it was average about 5%. DD’s merit award does not increase even though the tuition did. Check to see what yours says. </p>
