To help you understand the various costs associated with coming to Hopkins, we put together a Cost of Attendance (COA) that represents the approximate total cost of one academic year at Hopkins.
The COA includes both direct costs, which are expenses you’ll see on your bill, like tuition, your dorm room, and your meal plan, as well as indirect expenses, which are things that you won’t be billed for, but that we know you’ll have to pay for in addition to your bill. Indirect expenses include textbook purchases, personal expenses, and your travel to and from campus.
It’s important to remember that your COA is an estimate, not an exact number. While we know how much your direct expenses will be, there’s no way for us to know exactly how much you’ll spend on things like textbooks or personal expenses during the year, so those figures are based on how much the average student generally spends. Some students will spend more than these estimates, and others will spend less.
Your COA will vary depending on whether you live on or off campus. The COA for on-campus students includes the cost of a double room and a meal plan, while the COA for off-campus students includes an estimate for rent, utilities, and groceries over the nine months of the fall and spring semesters. Generally, the COA for off-campus students is lower than the COA for on-campus students.
