Non-Tuition Costs 2023-24
Attending college costs more than just tuition (including program fees). To help you project your non-tuition expenses, the Student Financial Aid Office estimates average amounts for several student groups and cost categories.
Personal expenses vary from student-to-student but understanding these costs help students plan for expenses beyond tuition.
Estimated costs are based on at least half-time (5 hours per term) attendance. Expenses are based on individual student costs and do not include spouse or dependent costs.
| Cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| Housing and Food | $17,232 |
| Books and Course Materials | $1,300 |
| Transportation (if Ohio, metro, or reciprocity tuition rate) |

| Transportation (if non-resident tuition rate) |
$3,038 |
| Miscellaneous | $4,892 |
