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
I adored each minute - but its what you make of it. If you want to go see some woman lecturing on an obscure topic that sounds interesting to you - go! If you're friend forces you into taking salsa classes with her - why not? When she suggests trying the abs workout course next...Be prepared to hurt for a week, but go anyways! Never before or since have I had so many amazing things available to me at once. It'll be the best decision you've ever made - but you've got to be willing to make it that.
Ashley from Burlington, VT
I wish tuition was cheaper. But hey, a lot of things are built in with the prices. Printing, Meals, Furniture, Bathroom with janitors to clean for you, Laundry... its worth the money.
Kristina from Jessup, MD
Best Financial Aid Package Ever! I'm not even low-income but I am satisfied with my package. If they want you as a student, they will show you.
Cherylen from Inglewood, CA
Franklin and Marshall is really doing everything for their students thats possible. Each house has a budget for bonding activities within the house, as well as all the clubs. The classes are small and discussion-based, so you'll never feel like you could learn just from reading the textbook.
Georgianna from Frederick, MD
DEFINITELY YES!
Tram-Anh from New Holland, PA
This solely depends on how driven the individual student is. It is easy to become trapped in a bubble of ease and apathy, but the opportunities and resources on campus or through alumni are invaluable to those who work to find them. Professors and advisors are more than willing to help students get the most out of their time at F&M.
Ellen from Earlysville, VA
You can have fun all day with just $20 in your wallet. With a $3 all day bus pass or the school's free van service, the city of Lancaster is yours. Places like the skating rink or laser tag are all under $10 or you can enjoy watching our football or basketball team compete against other schools for free.
