Generally speaking, the tuition of public schools is definitely cheaper than that of private schools, and the cost of living in big cities is definitely higher than that in small cities or towns. On this basis, schools with high rankings are more expensive than schools with low rankings.
Next, let's take the top 30 universities in the United States as an example to see the difference in fees between private and public schools in the United States.
Private school tuition:
In the top 30 schools and private schools, the annual tuition fee is about 5-6 dollars, which is equivalent to 30W-40W RMB.
The cost of living will vary according to the city where the school is located and the living habits of individuals. However, according to the information released by official website, the living expenses are generally around 1W5-2W, which is equivalent to about 10W- 15W.
In this way, if you attend the top 30 private schools, the annual fee should be between 40W and 55W RMB.
Within this range, China students often apply to eight famous Ivy League universities, Notre Dame University, Wake Forest University, new york University (many students report that the total annual cost of NYU will reach about 70W RMB), Huada St. Louis, Johns Hopkins University, Northwest University, University of Chicago, Duke University and Rice University.
Public school tuition
In the top 30 schools, the tuition fees of public schools will be relatively cheaper.
However, this is only relative. For example, the tuition fees of the 24th University of Michigan at ann arbor and the prestigious Virginia Public University are all around 5W2, which basically reach the level of private schools at the same level.
The cost of UC system schools will be relatively "friendly". For example, Berkeley University (#22) and University of Los Angeles (#20) with high UC rankings are all around 4W2.
But after all, it is a public university, and it will be funded by the state government, so the tuition will be relatively low. For example, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, ranked 28th, only has a tuition fee of about 3W6, while the University of Florida, ranked 30th, only has a tuition fee of about 2W8.
If the default cost of living is about $ 1W- 1W5, the total annual expenses of the University of Michigan at ann arbor and the University of Virginia should be between 40w and 50w, the total annual expenses of the University of Berkeley and the University of Los Angeles should be between 35w and 40w, and the total annual expenses of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Florida should be between 26w and 32w.
Tuition of liberal arts college
In addition to public and private comprehensive universities, students who apply for American courses often apply for some liberal arts colleges.
The liberal arts colleges are all private, and the tuition fees of the top liberal arts colleges can basically reach the top 30 private universities. For example, the tuition fees of Williams College, Amherst College and Swarthmore College, which rank the top three in arts and sciences, are between 5W-6W and 6W, and the total fees are basically between 40 W and 55 W.
certification of deposit
According to the fees of American universities we have seen, it is recommended to prepare relevant proof of funds when applying for the United States. To apply for public schools, you need to prepare about 50W RMB, and private schools need to prepare about 60W RMB. The specific amount of funds required for certification needs to be confirmed with the school.
