High school then College $$$$?

Question

Since I'm only 14 and college is like 4 more years what would be the cost I mean like how much would it cost. Does the cost depend on what course that i want to take or is the cost the same for any course thanks

Answer 1

The price is usually per credit hour, and the cost of "credit hours" varies by school. The best thing you can do now to ensure that school will not be expensive for you is to get really good grades in school, and join clubs that do service for the community. you will be sure to get many scholarships this way. then, school won't cost a thing!

Answer 2

The cost of attendance varies based on the college you choose. A community college is usually cheapest, but many only offer two year degrees. Universities differ, but once you pick the university, the courses are all similar in price. They charge you by the credit hour. If you need 122 credits to graduate and classes are 180 dollars per credit hour, you can figure the cost. If you look at a colleges websites, they usually have prices listed for the current term. Tuition may increase in the next four years, but probably not significantly. Ask your guidance couselor for brochures to local colleges or go online and request one be sent to you from colleges you are interested in. They will have more detailed information on each college as well as numbers to speak to financial advisors. If you know what you want to major in, you can add up the credits and see what a degree would cost at todays rates. Add about 2 or 3 thousand to that and you should be covered. :)

Answer 3

College tuition is based on credits. Most of the time, if you go to a 4-year college, you'll have to take about 120-130 credits. Each college charges a different amount per credit and the price goes up every year or two. If you estimated that you will go to an average school (not a crappy one, but not Harvard) 4 years from now it will probably cost about $200 per credit. That means that it'll probably cost about $25,000 for tuition if you go for 4 years and maybe $100 in lab fees, plus about $400 per year for books.

It's a little more if you go to a college away from your home state or an art school and less if you go to a community college or junior college.

Don't let that scare you, though. If you do good in high school, a lot of colleges and other businesses will offer grants (which is free money), scholarships (which is free money but you have to deserve it), and student loans (which you pay back, but they let you pay it back slowly after you graduate).

Answer 4

Depending on the school you choose to go to, tuition is generally the same amount of money for a full time student (at least 12 hours). College costs, but it is money well spent. Start looking on-line at different schools and checking out the cost of tuition, room and board, etc. It's time to start saving now for college.

Answer 5

College costs depends on the college and what type it is-public or private. It does not depend on your major. You can major in Business or Biology and you will pay the same thing.

Answer 6

Some people begin their studies at their local community college and then transfer to a major university to complete their bachelors' degree. It's a good way to save money. You should plan things to suit your unique situation. Look at every option. Most state university systems are at par, if not better, than the best private ones. And remember that most public schools are a lot cheaper than private universities.
