Florida cost view
Florida schools in the dataset: three publics, one private, four different budgets
The Florida pages mix a flagship public in Gainesville, two large metropolitan publics in Orlando and Miami, and a private university in Coral Gables. Housing markets differ sharply across the four cities, so the room and board line deserves the same attention as tuition.
This page covers only the Florida schools in the dataset. It is not a ranking of every college in the state.
| School | City | One-year total | Four years, no increase | Four years, 3% yearly increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Florida | Gainesville | $19,311 | $77,244 | $80,790 |
| University of Central Florida | Orlando | $20,020 | $80,080 | $83,756 |
| Florida International University | Miami | $20,995 | $83,980 | $87,835 |
| University of Miami | Coral Gables | $87,672 | $350,688 | $366,787 |
How to use this state view
Start with schools you can realistically attend, not every name in the table. Then open each school page and check the tuition basis. Public schools can change the answer when resident status changes. Private schools remove the residency line but can still vary by housing, program, and grant aid.
Use the calculator to hold housing and grant assumptions steady across schools. That is how you find out whether a difference comes from tuition or from the way you have modeled living costs.
What this page cannot tell you
It cannot tell you admission chances, grant aid, program quality, graduate earnings, or whether a school is worth the price. It gives a dated cost record so the money side of the decision starts with the same facts for every school.
