VERY LOW COST OOS COA universities......less than $25k COA for everything!

Paying for College
1

<p>I know that this isn't really a FA thread, but it would seem to fit here for those needing low cost options.</p>

<p>There are many who would benefit from this thread:
1) students whose stats wont get much/any merit
2) students who won't get much/any FA
3) transfer students who need low cost options.
4) int'l students</p>

<p>please copy/paste actual COAs and/or links to low cost (less than $25k COAs)</p>

<p>Let's keep this thread clean with no/minimal comments.</p>

<p>BE CAREFUL to notice whether the quoted rates are for semester, quarter, or yearly!!!</p>

<p>There are two UMaine public univs that have announced huge reductions in their OOS rates.
<a href="http://www.umfk.edu/valleyvision/release/default.cfm?release=14006"&gt;http://www.umfk.edu/valleyvision/release/default.cfm?release=14006&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>*The University of Maine at Fort Kent and the University of Maine at Presque Isle *
today unveiled a new tuition structure for out-of-state and international students that offers competitive pricing in those markets and also acts as a catalyst for economic development in Aroostook County.</p>

<p>For those students, that means their tuition would see a 40% reduction from $16,560 a year to $9,900 a year. Local economic development leaders are welcoming the rate change and what it means for the area.</p>

<p>OOS Tuition $9900 per year (and there are some lenient merit offers that could further reduce)
COA $20,592</p>

<p>(full-time) 24-36 credits $9,900
Fees 2 $975<br>
Health Insurance 3 $997<br>
Books & Supplies 4 $1,000<br>
Subtotal: $12,872
Residence Hall Room 5 $4,150<br>
Board (19-Meal Plan) 6 $3,570
COA......$20,592</p>

<p>i would think that with some careful book purchasing/renting and family-provided health insurance, that the COA could even be less.</p>
