Estimating Your Costs
The Cost of Attendance is the total expenses a student would typically incur in a given academic year of full-time enrollment at Providence College. This figure is comprised of both direct expenses, which will appear on your student billing statement (i.e., tuition, fees, housing and food), and indirect expenses, which will not appear on your student billing statement (i.e., allowance for books, personal expenses). The amounts we use to determine indirect expenses are estimates and are based on the amounts students typically spend/incur in a given academic year. The chart below represents sample Cost of Attendance figures (full-time) for several student populations:
