How Much Does Ross Cost?

[P-Money]

Does anyone know how much 3.5 - 4 years at Ross costs? The University figures it will cost about $200,000 US. Is this correct? How much did you Ross graduates out there pay?

I am a Canadian as well. Are there any Canadian grads out there who can tell me how much they paid?

Thanks a lot.

Yup!!

That's about right.

after 5 semesters, i'm out about $80000, everything included.

coulda been 78000 had i not rented a car.

i am planning to split an apt during the clinical years to cut down costs.

Tuition is a fixed cost nad be assured that it will increase several times during your 4 years at ROSS or any oyhrt school. The other costs are variable. Room and Board can vary based on what type of lifestyle you want in both Dominica and the US. Actualyy your apartment in Dominica will be less than similar accomidations in the US. If you do clinicals in NYC and want your own studio apartment in Manhattan it will cost upwards of $1800 a month. If your family has a house in Brooklyn or Queens it will cost you nothing. Also wheter you cook your own meals or eat out also has an effect on your budget.

I am from Texas so I will always have to worry about housing and food. I will probably end up spending between $200000 to $250000.

students should live as frugally as possible... unless you're spoiled and high maintenance and living off mom & dad's money.
you're gonna be paying those loans back right after, and if you're like most who consolidate their loans along the way, you've given up your grace period for repayment.

I have lived economically for my whole life and will continue to live like that until I finish my education and complete residency.

Yes you do, however, you can have them re-deferred if you send in the acceptance letter from Ross. I got mine deferred for 6 months for economic reasons after graduation and they will re-defer once you begin medical school.

neuro3 will be a ross grad soon, so there is no acceptance letter to defer with.

however, you'll be earning $40000 a year then, so you can afford to pay back $200/month. you don't need the grace period.

most people get economic hardship deferment after medical school and dont have to pay back the loans until after residency. That 40,000 a year which is measly for the amount of work you do turns into about 28k a year after taxes, depending on what you deduct. Either way, its not alot of money and $200 a month can get old when you're not making that much to begin with and can be used for other things like house payments, savings, etc while you start to recover for the last 4 years of not working. neuro3 will be a ross grad soon, so there is no acceptance letter to defer with.

i consolidated long ago. I finish residency in 6 weeks. my first student loan payment is october 5th.

dont worry about how much it costs. its like buying a Ferrari. if you have to ask, you cant afford it. my loans ended up at $187,000. my income starting july 1st is DRASTICALLY higher then my loan payments starting october 5th.

If it's true, SGU doesn't cost much more than Ross. I was told it's ~ $230,000 by the Bayshore office.
