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
This school is the bang for the buck because it is one of the cheapest school, why pay more for a school if it is not necessary?The name alone has a good reputation, and what better way than to graduate with a good name on your resume.

If you live in New York, paying for the school is pretty easy. Not too expensive. If you are out-of-state though, it's a little bit harder. If money is no issue for you then you are just fine, but if money is tight, then you may need to do a student loan on top of financial aid. I only needed to take out a 3500 loan that can be paid back easily. They offer a tuition payment plan though that allows you to pay the tuition while attending which is very helpful. I liked that plan, they give you up to 5 months to pay monthly.

This school is so low priced that it's crazy. It's unbelievable what you get for so little!
Sundas from Coram, NY
The college itself has a relatively inexpensive tuition rate which is pretty amazing when considering the amount of free services available. John Jay offers free tutoring, plenty of student events, discounted sales for movies and other entertainment, free classes (ex: Yoga, Defense, kick boxing), a writing center, lounge areas, computer and wifi access, and much more.
