Boston University's own 2026 to 2027 tuition page lists 73,024 dollars in tuition and 1,570 dollars in fees, for 74,594 dollars combined for the year, a single rate that applies to every undergraduate regardless of residency since BU is a private university. Room, board, books and personal expenses are additional and are set out separately on BU's financial aid pages; a widely cited estimate for the prior year put the total cost of attendance, including living expenses, at roughly 90,000 dollars, though this record only states the tuition and fees figure BU itself confirmed for 2026 to 2027.
