Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Barnard is very expensive; however, a lot of students are offered financial aid. The education is fantastic though, so I do think you are paying for something worthwhile.
Cassie
Over 50% of the student body receives financial aid. Financial aid is generally good, but don't be afraid to talk to anyone in the Financial Aid Office - they are really kind and knowledgeable. It is expensive, but for the world-class education and connections you make, I think it's a wonderful investment.
Chandler
Obviously, if you are considering this school you know it is quite expensive. The education is amazing however, and the financial aid department is most accommodating to those who demonstrate financial need. They truly want to make this top-notch college education possible for those who are motivated.
Max
Lots of things are expensive, but there are many free things as well. Just go to studentrush.org, highfive.org , freenyc,.com, and you will find free yoga classes, cheap broadway shows, and so forth.
