University System of Georgia Costs of College Attendance in FY2005 The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collects institution-specific data on the costs of college attendance. These data are used by higher education policy-makers for planning and management activities, as well as by students and parents in comparing college costs. This report examines FY2005 tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, and other expenses of both in-state and out-of-state University System of Georgia students. The costs of room and board are reported separately for students living on-campus and off-campus/living with relatives and not living with relatives. Off-campus living costs are estimated by each institution, and they vary by urban or rural location. Therefore, these costs may not be derived by a single, consistent method across institutions or sectors. The following are the major points based on the IPEDS data. Tuition and fees for out-of-state students attending a University System institution is, on average, three and one half times more costly than it is for Georgia residents. The University System average for in-state tuition and fees is $2,484, as compared to $8,779 for out-of-state charges.
