What does it cost to attend the University of Alberta for one year?
An estimate of what it might cost a single student to live in Edmonton for 12 months is given below. Tuition fees $7,125 Accommodation (with one roommate) $5,000 Food $3,000 Clothing $ 500 Health Insurance $ 528 Transportation (Bus pass $60/mo) $ 720 Textbooks, typing supplies (thesis expenses) $1,900 Misc (phone, laundry, entertainment) $2,000 TOTAL $20,773 This estimate is only a guideline. The tuition fee quoted above includes the 100% differential fee charged to all foreign graduate students. This estimate will permit an adequate but far from luxurious standard of living. The first month will be more expensive because of settling-in costs such as paying an extra month of rent as a damage deposit and purchasing warm clothing, textbooks and supplies. Please keep in mind that this figure does not include any money for returning home or visiting other parts of Canada or the United States nor does it make allowance for the 7% Goods and Services Tax (G.S.T.)
