Compare for yourself

Understanding how financial aid can impact the cost of college is a little tricky. In some cases, for example, the school offering you the best financial aid package may not be the least expensive school overall for you and your family.

To help you make educated comparisons, we've tailored a system similar to ones you may have seen on the web-sites of U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review. This page will allow you to make a comparison partially based on information that you provide, such as the amount of your awards of your family's expected contribution, and may also help to give you a sense of which school is right for you.

Print out a copy of our "Compare for Yourself Worksheet" and use it to the compare the cost of attending other colleges to UMass Boston.

Then go and check out some of our loan calculators for even more information.
