Estimated Cost of Attendance

The cost of attending Purdue varies depending on where you choose to live, travel expenses, food costs, enrollment in a specific program or college, and some other variables. Below are estimated costs for the 2020-21 academic year (two semesters at full-time enrollment in an undergraduate program; on-campus housing).

Tuition and fees are a direct cost and billed by the University. Books, Transportation, and Miscellaneous expenses are indirect costs that are not billed by Purdue. Housing and food is a direct cost for students living in a residence hall, and is an indirect cost for students living elsewhere.
