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.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

As one of the top rated SUNY schools in the system (or in my opinion, the top rated), Geneseo absolutely provides an exceptional education for the price of a public college. I am continually surprised by the reputation Geneseo has made for itself when people commend me for attending the public ivy. Though small, Geneseo is widely known as an exceptional school for an even more exceptional price.
Danielle from Coram, NY
Geneseo is definitely affordable for students that wouldn't be able to attend a more expensive, private college. It is a great education for an affordable price. There are also many scholarships that students can apply for through Geneseo.
Meghan from East Hampton, NY
Geneseo is one of the few schools that one can receive a stellar education to rival small liberal arts colleges for the price of a public state school. Geneseo has produced a lot of distinguished alumni and an education and experience from here as a whole is priceless. So to be able to receive all of that for such a low cost gives it great value.
Samantha
Geneseo is definitely one of the best colleges are your money. It's a SUNY school so the price is kept down and the academics are excellent.
Michelle from West Henrietta, NY
Best SUNY and you can't beat the price
Student from Fairport, NY
SUNY Geneseo is nationally noted for being one of the best Bang for your Buck. If you are a resident of New York State, you can end up going to college for less than other college students pay for one year. Similarly for out-of-state students, the tuition is very reasonable. Considering the high standard of academics that you are receiving at SUNY Geneseo, I fully support the fact that it is one of the Best Bang for your Buck out there.
