t's no secret that the cost of college continues to increase. Hundreds of
headlines each year display the increased dollars students are facing. So
what does that look like across the nation?
According to fall 2016 enrollment data from College Board, the average
tuition and fees at an in-state public college are $9,716 for the 2018-19 year,
$21,629 for an out-of-state student, and to $35,676 for a private university.
How does Mississippi State University stack up to the national average?
Mississippi State University website outlines tuition and fees for full-time
students living on/off campus in 2018-19 as $8,650. This is just the cost of
tuition and enrollment fees each semester. Housing, books, transportation,
and general cost of living expenses add another approximately $16,582
in expenses per student. Out-of-State students have an additional $14,600
annually in expenses.
As education costs remain on the rise, alumni support of Gamma Theta
becomes extremely vital. Scholarship resources and competitive housing
costs make a huge difference for our undergraduate brothers. Reach out
to our House Corporation board to see how you can get involved in aiding
