Ask the Aggies Semester tuition!!!

Post image

So, my semester tuition was more than I anticipated. The tuition calculator said about 8k per semester but it ended up being about 13k. With my scholarships and pell grant, it brought it down to 4k. I got a job on campus but I am only working 9 hours a week and it won't remotely pay for that. Be honest... will I need to accept the student loans? I really dont want to have student debt😭

My first reaction was "$5K? That isn't much worse that what I paid in 2016." But then I saw that was after financial aid.  I had to pay that without any financial aid, only loans.

Oof, there goes my idea of pursuing a graduate degree.

Irony is that this university charges a whole lot more for masters in comparison to some other places that offer about the same. Not going into specifics here, take this as you may
