[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the 2025-2026 academic year, international undergraduate tuition at the University of St Andrews is £31,670 for Arts, Divinity, or Science, and £37,730 for Medicine. The total estimated cost of attendance for the 2024-2025 academic year was £45,678, which includes tuition, accommodation, travel, books, and living expenses.

that equals just under $61K per year (with potential 10% increases year on year) for 4 yrs.[/quote]

tuition  £31,670 
Catering £2,332 (intersemester break will be on a self-catered basis)
Accommodation £7,625 (38 weeks)

that's 41627 or $55,429.

travel is about 500 rt from east coast if you plan ahead, which is easily done. can be 450. can be 550.  maybe 3500k all in, including my own trips.

I have another kid at Yale. and it's over 90k - not including 3k for health insurance or anything else. so not half but not bad!

also "Fees will be adjusted annually, with increases typically ranging from 3% to 5% to reflect inflationary pressures to which we may be exposed".  never heard of a 10% increase but it's been about the same as yale - 3-5%

You didn’t include visa or health surcharge for StA
And I’m on the east coast & not finding any $450/500 r/t flights home for Xmas…. Where are you looking? 
And, Yes, it is less expensive than Yale. [/quote]

I bought xmas tickets in august. The Facebook parents page is really good. People regularly post when to buy tickets.

But sure .. add in the health surcharge. I think it was about $4k - one time payment - and that covered visa and all 4 years of healthcare.

I also didn't include that I get to charge the St Andrews tuition and fees to my credit cards and get miles out the wazoo. We traveled to Tokyo last year for free as a family of 4 - hotels included. Have loads left over. Could have used those for travel to st Andrews but we've never had an issue finding reasonable fares.[/quote]

Do you pick last possible exam date w/o knowing the schedule & hope for the best? Or change flights if needed? [/quote]
The former, but we purchase tickets that allow changes without penalties. These are always expensive. I’ve NEVER found tickets for less than $1,000, and those around the Holidays are typically much pricier.[/quote]

To be fair, we’re in nyc and direct flights probably cheaper from here [/quote]
