What it costs to attend WSU

Here's a quick breakdown of how much it costs the typical undergraduate to attend Washington State University in Pullman.

These figures are for the 2012-13 academic year.

*  An average of all traditional on-campus undergraduate housing and dining. Costs vary by residence hall/lease and meal plan.

** In addition to these costs, we recommend that you include about $936 for books, $2108 for miscellaneous expenses, and $1434 for transportation.

Tuition cost is based on 10-18 credits per semester.

See the WSU Office of Financial Aid for more details, including costs and expenses for nontraditional (e.g., married or with children) and WSU Online students.

Why the mandatory fees?

Nearly everyone wonders about this at some point. At WSU, that $914 in fees covers a variety of things that are outside tuition but still necessary.

A few of the most visible things your student fees help pay for at WSU:

• The Student Rec Center
• The 2008 renovation of the CUB
• Renovations in Martin Stadium's student section
• Riding the bus anywhere in Pullman simply by showing student ID
