What Does Affordable Mean?

I tell friends Snow College offers a nationally ranked education with exceptional graduation and transfer rates. And that it is very affordable! But what does affordable mean? Take a look at this chart. Snow College’s tuition and fees total $1,543 per semester. Add housing costs in Ephraim, which runs from $750 to $1,250 per semester. And keep in the back of your mind that most students at Snow College—do not have a car—they do not need a car to drive back and forth to school, part-time job and church because they can walk everywhere they need to go.

Ok, let’s put the savings aside that students bank for not having to pay for, maintain, insure and fill a car with gas and just look at tuition, fees and housing. The total cost for tuition, fees and housing at Snow College ranges from $2,293 to $2,793 per semester.

The bottom line: A student can attend nationally ranked Snow College—as a resident student—enjoying all the benefits of the full college experience, for less money than it will cost her to live in her parents’ basement and commute to any university in Utah.

In this economy we are all concerned about getting the best value for our dollar. Snow College offers the chance for students to enjoy the benefits of the full, residential college experience during the freshman and sophomore years and then transfer to a university for the last two years, all for less money.
