DS is a freshman in HS and I'm just starting to look into colleges and associated majors, requirements, costs, etc. I'm having a bit of sticker shock, I have saved $40K so far and plan to save more but in my mind I was thinking that all the costs together would be around $20K per year for an in state school.
So, how much are you actually paying? Don't include FA or scholarships, just what you are out of pocket for the year. |

| DC is going to an out of state college and our bill which included room and board was $19k for the first semester. Books, dorm room things and supplies were extra. |

First semester? Not first year? So the whole year is $19+$19=$38 ? |

Correct. In-state schools would be much cheaper- probably around $20-$25k per year. |

| At Clemson it's about $45,000 a year for out of state. |

| About 12K per year with scholarship. Would have been around 63K without. Very expensive. |

| I also have a high school freshman. My question for parents of college kids is did you find that the "net price calculators" on school websites were accurate? |
