Tuition & Fees

We base aid decisions on the total cost of an education at Middlebury, broken down as follows for the 2009-2010 academic year:

Comprehensive Fee: $50,400
The comprehensive fee is the sum of tuition, room, and board. There is also a billed student activity fee of $380 for the academic year.
Books: $1,000
This is an estimate of your expenses for textbooks and supplies for the academic year. Your actual costs may differ depending on the courses you take and the availability of used books. You will need to bring money with you for your books when you first arrive at Middlebury.
Personal: $1,000
This is an estimate of expenses for personal items, entertainment and clothing for the academic year. It is a conservative estimate, which will require careful budgeting on your part. Most students choose to use the income from their campus jobs to provide these funds.
Travel: (variable)
This figure represents our recognition that you will incur costs to get here for the Fall and to get back again for the Spring. Students generally use a portion of their summer earnings to pay this expense.
