* In-state vs. Out-of-state tuition: Out-of-state students pay significantly more than in-state students.
* Fees: There are various fees beyond tuition, including student activity fees, technology fees, and others. These can vary slightly from year to year.
* Living expenses: This includes housing, food, transportation, books, and personal expenses. These costs vary greatly depending on your lifestyle and housing choices (on-campus, off-campus, etc.).
Therefore, there's no single answer. To get an accurate estimate, you should:
1. Visit the FSU website: Go to the FSU Office of the Bursar or the FSU Office of Admissions website. They will have the most up-to-date information on tuition and fees for both in-state and out-of-state students. Look for a tuition and fee calculator, which allows you to input your specific circumstances.
2. Factor in living expenses: Research the cost of living in Tallahassee, Florida. Consider on-campus housing costs (dorm, apartment), off-campus rent, groceries, transportation (car, bus), and other personal expenses. You can find cost of living estimates online using websites like BestPlaces.net or NerdWallet.
By combining the information from the FSU website and your living expense estimates, you can create a personalized budget for your Civil Engineering degree at Florida State University.
