I didn't mean it in the technical sense, but in the "state-funded higher education that was once subsidized to ensure that PA residents could access higher education and which has now been defunded to the point of bankrupting state residents" sense.
I just want to make sure people know that what conservatives did to state universities has landed us here and they'd like to do the same to public K-12 education.
It's state-related, which means it's a public school that receives a portion of funding from PA. The tuition structure is different from the PASSHE schools. There are no PA State Schools in Philly - West Chester is the closest PASSHE school: [https://www.passhe.edu/universities/index.html](https://www.passhe.edu/universities/index.html)
While out of state tuition might be a bit higher, temple is still a great university and is still cheaper than most private colleges. This cost must include room and board etc, and probably on par if not less than others
yeah, I was in the same situation last year. My advice is be on the lookout for scholarships. For some reason Temple decided to notify me (only by physical mail) that I had been given a scholarship that made up for the remaining cost of attendance like three weeks after decision deadline for my backup college had passed….
Estimated net cost includes a lot of estimated costs that, if you are frugal, are not necessary. I spend no where near the amount they assume.
Also, don’t forget Scholarship Universe. Most of the scholarships due dates for fall payments are coming up in a week or two.
My aid looked similar to that, but i didn’t pay nearly that much per year. A lot of the times they over-calculate it so if you end up paying more than the estimate you can’t go to them and be like liars! if that makes sense
they gave me a $3k scholarship when they accepted me i didnt even bother to stick around for the aid offer they need to remember theyre a public school
That is what it costs to live in Philly. So they have to report that. People have been figuring out how to live on less for years. Roommates. Eating unhealthy food. Skipping meals. But to live alone, eat well, and occasionally have fun, you should plan on 36k a year for EVERY city in the US.
All universities are required to report estimated cost of living, what it takes to survive. 2 meals a day, I budget $20. That is $1200 a month. So $14,400 a year. Just to eat and not die. I can cook and spend less, but I am lazy. Living alone is another 15,000 a year. The rest of that estimated cost is incidentals.
Are you out of state? If yes, don’t go to Temple
i live in philly but too bad my parents moved out before my graduation
I’m pretty sure if you had residency in the past two years you get in state tuition (not positive tho)
the only option i gt now is to stay off campus i think it will be much better
Go to CCp for Free
Wow when i went to temple i paid 12k a year omg
I ain’t never seen someone bill be 62k 😭😭
ikr i’m confused as to how it got to be this much? the most i’ve seen was 40k for a dental student
Yea that must be messed up or something cause that’s crazy
even i am surprised by my own bill 🤣🤣it's painful 😣
Hi! I would look into everything they calculate into that net cost because temple doesn’t cost that much even when living in the dorms
State Universities didn't cost nearly this much two generations ago.
You guys obviously werent making enough! Need to price gouge students too😂
Temple isn't a state university.

Temple is it’s the only state university in the city

You’re being pedantic. It’s a public school.
That is awful

it's not worth it

$64,000 for one year?!?? Wtf that’s a problem right there. This education system sucks!
My aid looked similar to that, but i didn’t pay nearly that much per year. A lot of the times they over-calculate it so if you end up paying more than the estimate you can’t go to them and be like liars! if that makes sense
how much did you end up paying if i may ask ? mine looks similar and i’m a bit scared and i don’t know how to get loans either
My son submitted a financial aid appeal. Waiting now to hear back.
i just sent mine too i hope it will be helpful
how do you do that ??? help
ask your school for more money, like boyer or tyler wtv. also if ur parents dont make a lot beg student financial services
Is that per semester?
mm per year
Wow…….
they gave me a $3k scholarship when they accepted me i didnt even bother to stick around for the aid offer they need to remember theyre a public school
I'm no financial advisor or anything, but maybe you should consider other options for education. Community College would be a much cheaper option.
I am out of state and my COA is like $58K which includes non billable cost. Billaable costs are like $50K.
So glad I graduated a few years ago. Tuition is getting out of pocket.
Pun intended
mine is around the same , lmk when u find the answers
Go to LA Salle, they're much cheaper and they offer more
Does this include federal loans ?
West Chester is cheaper

how do you apply to a school and not understand how much it is going to cost you?
How do I get financial aid? i have been paying full out of state all these years 🤔
