Would $50,000 be a good figure to aim to save for uni?

Question

I know there are expensive ones, and cheap ones. But on average?
Will that be enough?

As an out of state / international student..

Answer 1

That would be enough for tuition and fees at a state school in most of the southern US but not nearly enough for the northeastern US. My wife went in state to a state school in the US and graduated 6 years ago and still has $30000 in loans, and she lived at home

Good luck

Answer 2

In most southern states and community colleges it would be sufficient. As an international student there are all kinds of grants with a certain grade point ave. But that's mostly for those abroad coming to the U.S.

Out of state school can be really expensive. But most states you only have to live there 6 months to a yr. to be eligible for in state tuition cost.

Ky. has a liberal arts college in Berea that's cheap to free. They have day care centers, dorm rooms, etc.

But $50,000. is a good start. It's really sad most have to go in debt to get any education beyond high school. I went to college 23 yrs. ago in a community college and even there it's almost 10 times what I paid per semester.

Answer 3

That amount is fine. It should cover tuition and fees for most schools unless you're planning on going to Princeton which was just voted the top school in the us.

Answer 4

That amount is good enough. Try to deposit, at least half of it on time deposit so that by the time you finish, you have some more for job hunting.
Good luck!

Answer 5

yes.
