TUITION COSTS AND STUDENT BUDGETS

The student budgets listed below represent an estimate of the total cost for you to attend Suffolk University Law School for the Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters. The budget includes tuition, SBA dues, the cost of the University's Health Insurance Plan, books, and living expenses (includes housing, utilities, food, transportation to and from school, and miscellaneous personal expenses).

The living expense budget maximum of $18,486 provides students living on their own with $2,054 per month for the nine month enrollment period of September 2013 - May 2014. For students living with a parent, the living expense maximum budget of $12,186 provides $1,354 per month for the nine month enrollment period.  We encourage you to review these budgets carefully and plan your living expense costs accordingly. The lower your living expenses, the less your loan debt will be at graduation.

Students should note that refunds from overpayment of semester student account charges will not be available until after the beginning of classes each semester. For this reason students should come prepared to meet their first month's out-of-pocket expenses such as rent.  To ensure timely crediting of all student aid funds and refund processing, students should meet all application and priority filing deadlines.

The student budget, or cost of attendance, figures listed below also represent the maximum amount of financial aid that can be receive from all sources, including Suffolk aid, student loans, federal work study, employer tuition benefits, and any other aid from outside sources.
