Including room, board, and books, you're looking at something in the $20,000 range, and it varies a lot by state. If you live in Virginia, for example, undergraduate total cost of attendance for UVA is around $32,000 (https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/18-19 https://sfs.virginia.edu/cost/18-19).
EDIT: There is also the case where you may live in a state with insufficient opportunities for higher education. For example, neither of North Dakota's two public research universities (U of ND, ND State) rank inside the US News top 200, and both of those schools will still charge you around $20,000 per year. Germans or Brits will be able to receive subsidized educations at any university in their countries.
- nightski 8y agoI went out of state for university. But I do live in the ND/MN region and I can tell you I know an entire community of NDSU computer science students who graduated and now make over 6 figures. Sure they say it wasn't amazing, but it got the job done for really cheap. Also NDSU is only 7k per year in state before assistance. No idea where you are getting the 20k figure from. You'd probably have access to a better education at U of M in Minneapolis. But it's going to be quite a bit more expensive and I'm not sure it would have that large effect on your career.
