Tuition and Costs
Cost of attendance for the 2022–2023 academic year
| Tuition | $57,590 | It actually costs over double this amount for MIT to provide the cutting-edge research facilities and faculty to undergraduates, but we subsidize it down to this cost. This also includes access to all services at MIT Medical02 including urgent care visits, mental health, and specialist care at no extra cost. |
| Student life fee | $396 | This helps fund student clubs, organizations, and the sports and fitness center. This fee covers your unlimited access to the gym, fitness classes, student organization events, and trips. |
| Housing | $11,980 | All first-year students are required to live on campus, but residence halls and living groups vary in cost. We’ll bill you in July for half of the most expensive double room on campus ($5,990), then adjust it based on your actual housing cost in September. Learn more at MIT Housing. |
| Meals | $6,810 | There are multiple dining plan options (including cooking for yourself), but for the purposes of figuring out your financial aid eligibility, we budget $6,810 per year for meals. Learn more at MIT Dining. |
| Books & supplies | $850 | This out-of-pocket expense can vary depending on the student, but we use this number to calculate your financial aid eligibility. |
| Personal expenses | $2,224 | This expense also varies depending on the student, but we use this number to calculate your financial aid eligibility. This covers things like clothes, laundry, and other bills. |
| Total | $79,850 | Remember, 90% of students receive some type of financial aid. |
