HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GO TO COLLEGE AT YALE?? tuition, room & board, insurance... + financial aid

hi friends!! I'm finally answering the most commonly asked question about Yale - exactly how much does it cost? I break everything down and show you the exact values including tuition costs, room and board, insurance, text books, travel and more! I then discuss how financial aid works at Yale, and show you how much you could receive in aid based on your family's income range.
almost all of this information is also available on Yale's website. disclaimer - this video is just my understanding of the costs and financial aid for me. these amounts will be different for everyone, and they will change from year to year. if you want to learn more about affordability and financial aid at Yale for your specific situation, please check out their official website (linked below) or email the financial aid office.
also!! I should have said this in the video but this same financial aid is available to all Yale college students, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Yale also has need-blind admissions for all students (international and domestic), which means that you will not have a disadvantage in the admissions process if you require financial aid.

Hey! I was accepted to Yale in December and got my financial aid package, the "first year allowance" is essentially an amount of money that you are likely to spend as a first year that isn't a reoccuring expense. Basically like winter clothes (considering most students are coming from different climates), bedding, dorm supplies, etc. :)

[@TiaChitty]

wow, congratulations!! I can't wait to see you around campus 🥰 thanks for clarifying that, makes sense! x

[@fmfm3216]

Do they only cover financial aid for the first year?

[@ginaloreen9900]

wow that is a huuuugeee amount of money! I live in Berlin, Germany and in Germany you don't have to pay university fees, only a little amount of money every semester for your public transport ticket and some other stuff. I pay about 350€ every semester. Its crazy!

[@robertlopezzy]

Wow.

[@kali8573]

And this amount is much in Germany. I study in a smaller city and I only pay 100€ every Semester

[@Mary-fp3fc]

Ahaha wish hope to study in Europe in future for my masters

[@didnever1202]

In England we pay like €10,750 per year on a 3 year course. It’s limited at that for every university in the country. All in all, the full degree is equal to half of 1 year at Yale. Crazy

[@aylencarolinabramajo867]

OMG , I find these information really interesting. I live in Argentina and higher education is public (free) . So you don't have to pay anything to study more than your studying materials.

[@KristinasDigitalDiary]

OKG I WAS LITERALLY WONDERING THIS THE OTHER WEEK that is crazy timing!!!! THANK YOU for making this 🤎🤎🤎

[@TiaChitty]

yay!! I hope you found it interesting 🥰🥰

[@jakemoseley1811]

Yale decides who to admit and only then looks at finances. It gives every admitted student enough financial aid to cover what is needed. Every admitted student can afford to attend. My dad earned, adjusted for inflation, about $50,000. Tuition, room and board, adjusted for inflation was $24,470 in today’s dollars I ended up saving enough over 4 years, from work, to buy a new vw bug at graduation to drive to California for grad school. Don’t worry about the cost. If you are admitted Yale loves you. It really does. It will take care of you.

[@KatieSev]

As someone who graduated college 2 years ago... paying off college debt is no joke people lol

[@TiaChitty]

100% agree. it's hard that so many students go 'out into the working world' already with so much debt. we're very lucky at Yale that we have such generous aid ❤️

[@eveaudrey9662]

Thank you for the information. I didn't know this about Yale. I'm now going to check it out.

[@TiaChitty]

no worries! I'm glad it helped :)

[@bentebosscher9016]

Hi Tia! I’m from the Netherlands and I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now. This video is very helpful :)

[@TiaChitty]

[@TiaChitty]

wow, thank you so much!! 🥰🥰

[@badgerinabluedress4866]

I'm doing an LLB in Australia and with the increase in uni fees over the last 2 years it feels like it would be cheaper to go to Yale. We have HECS, but we have to repay it and there's inflation. There's a few minor scholarships, but they don't pay much and are very hard to get. Books, housing et al... so expensive and not covered under HECS. It's so cool that Yale gives their students so much financial aid that doesn't just cover tuition. What a fantastic school. I think it is cheaper for you to go there than to study at home sadly.

[@madebyymira]

wowww that’s wild, thanks for sharing! i go to georgia tech and it’s like 48k a year for out of state but there’s barely any financial aid :|

[@bethaniej]

Thanks for this video. I found your channel when i was looking at what college students eat! I live in Perth too and have 2 young daughters. They’re both gifted and I’d love them to have an opportunity like what you are doing. I’m amazed at how affordable it could possibly be! Something to think about in the next couple of years for sure!

[@maeru_689]

In Switzerland it does cost some money to go to university, but it’s affordable for everyone (btw you‘re also not living on campus here). It depends from university to university but the costs are between 1000-4000 francs (1100-4400 US dollars) thats not mutch. And our universities are not worse than yours, in the contrary, they are really good. And to everyone who wants to know it because he or she is interested in studying here: as far as I know we do not have one university like Yale, where you can study all kind of subjects. Each university is specialized for one subject (for example science, or theology, or English, or psychologies) Our whole school system is pretty different. Would be a long story to tell.

[@diehomiesd8247]

I‘m studying at the University of Salzburg, Austria and I literally pay 20€ (which equals roughly to 20$ as well) per semester for attending Uni, I’m so thankful for having the opportunity to study just about for free😅

[@cara2749]

Super interesting video! And great to have the perspective of an international student :)

[@TiaChitty]

thanks so much!!!

[@celiartp9939]

My dream college has been Yale for YEARSS!! However due to personal issues I couldnt get really good grades during my first 2 years of highschool. Now I'm better and I have pretty good grades this year, I have the best extracurriculars of everyone I know (all of them centrered in what I would love to study). And I'm getting really good sats on the practise tests. Should I apply????

[@meninder1]

Yes, if you're waiting for someone to tell you, Apply! Untill you apply you won't know and you'll forever be wondering. GO FOR IT!

[@TiaChitty]

YES!! APPLY! you won't get in if you don't apply! so definitely apply and I believe there's a part in your application where you can explain personal circumstances that have impacted your grades. and I'm sure the grades that Yale will focus on are the more recent ones. but definitely apply! good luck xx

[@aangeladanielaa]

You should apply! And even if you don’t get it you can always transfer there or do your masters degree there too! :)

[@awasser1]

Not surprised. In line with current economy. You would laugh at how much I payed for UCONN. When do you want to go shopping for snow shoes? Only about 4 weeks no more snow this season

[@Truthfully12312]

As a parent the video is relieving…hopefully my son is also appropriately taken care as per the norms of aid.

I go to uni here in Australia, wishes our uni offers financial Aid too:( As I have pay loans, our family wasn't very rich. You are very lucky to have access to financial aid. Great infor though:)

[@TiaChitty]

we are very lucky, and I'm so grateful for it ❤️❤️

[@heatherbach4058]

Don't we get HECS though and I definitely feel as though that's so much better than financial aid? Because they still have to pay that back don't they?

[@Mary-fp3fc]

@@heatherbach4058 yes we have HECS but finiancial aid is like scholarship where they don't need to pay back as Tia mentioned in the video it covers most of her costs. HECS we do need to pay back fully once you have jobs after graduate whereas financial aid is basically you receive some free money in that way (depends on your family income) so finiancial aid is def better.

[@heatherbach4058]

@@Mary-fp3fc yeah I realised that after replying😂 I don't know why but I read something before that some of financial aid needs to be paid back but who knows. To be fair though I don't think anyone needs it in AUS, most courses are $10-15k p/a.

[@jamiekuchel3210]

the cost for room + board at Yale is double (in AUD) my annual tuition fee (which includes amenities and services) here in aus and that's absolutely crazy to me!

[@hinano9060]

Does the need for financial aid lower the possibility of getting accepted to attend Yale?

[@WhitneyAustins]

If you need financial aid it won’t lower your possibility to get in because Yale is need blind.

[@hinano9060]

@@WhitneyAustins oh I see thanks 😚

[@TiaChitty]

@Whitney Austins yes, perfect answer! Yale is need-blind for all students (international and domestic) so applying for fin aid won't hinder your chances of getting in. but at other colleges, it may. a fair number of colleges are need-blind for US citizens, but not very many are for international students

$77,000 + plus a year! Oh wow! In the UK Uni is £9250 for the course a year and £6000+ for accommodation! My 3/4 year course wouldn’t even bee the same as one year!

[@sarahbourne1872]

That's about what it is in Australia. Although they changed the fees this year so an arts degree is now the same cost as a law degree about 12-14,000 AUD. Many students stay at home while they are at uni so don't pay for any accomodation because college/student housing can be expensive.

[@jasminet9727]

@@TiaChitty You only explain what you can find on Yale website. You didn't disclose how generous you got? I am asking specific to you.

[@TiaChitty]

in the video, I discussed how much it costs to attend Yale and the different financial aid options available. I specifically stated in the video that I will not be disclosing my personal financial aid information as that is very confidential and involves my parents’ financial situations. I stated this multiple times and also gave the reason for it. I am not allowed to, nor do I wish to, disclose this information. It also would not be helpful for anyone as what I receive in financial aid will be different to what every other student receives. So it wouldn’t help you figure out how much aid you could get because you wouldn’t know any of the contextual information (my family’s financial situation). If you are interested in knowing how much you may receive in aid from Yale, there is a financial aid calculator on their website.
