Estimate of Expenses for Undergraduates
International Students:
2012-2013 For the purposes of securing a
student visa, an estimate of expenses for a twelve-month period
is listed below. (Other figures you may have seen are based on a
nine
month academic calculation.) Please keep in mind that these are
minimum estimates for living expenses and that, depending upon your
lifestyle, the actual costs may be higher. Transportation to and
from the United States and optional Summer School tuition are not
included in the estimates. Due to inflation, these costs will
increase annually.
| Academic year tuition & activity fee |
$ 43,976 |
Room & board for 12 months
(9 month Academic year cost: $11,880)
(3 month Summer cost: $3,960) |
$ 15,840 |
| Required health service fee & health insurance |
$ 2,569 |
| Academic year books & supplies |
$ 800 |
Personal expenses for 12 months
(clothing, laundry, local transportation, entertainment, etc.) |
$ 2,348 |
| TOTAL |
$65,553 |
If married and your spouse will accompany you to the United States, please add
$4,330 per year to the living expenses listed above. For each child who will
accompany you, add $3,100 per year.
Final figures are subject to approval by the Board of Trustees
in May, 2012.
Please Note: Because individuals on student visas
must certify that funds are available to finance their education, it
is not expected that students will need to work beyond the limits of
a teaching or research assistantship. Although part-time (not to
exceed 20 hours per week) on-campus work is allowed, these jobs are
limited. Please keep in mind that the U.S Citizenship and
Immigration Services severely limits off-campus work for students;
and, in most cases, does not allow it at all within the first
academic year. You must check with the International Center
before considering off-campus employment. We expect that the
funding source(s) you are certifying to us will be available to you
and that you will not need financial assistance upon arrival at
Tufts.
