North Carolina cost view
North Carolina schools in the dataset: Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham
The North Carolina pages cover two public universities in the Research Triangle and a private university in Durham. Resident tuition at the publics is the anchor figure; the private page is a grant-aid question first and a sticker question second.
This page covers only the North Carolina schools in the dataset. Confirm residency with each public university before using a resident total.
| School | City | One-year total | Four years, no increase | Four years, 3% yearly increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | Chapel Hill | $24,088 | $96,352 | $100,775 |
| North Carolina State University | Raleigh | $24,007 | $96,028 | $100,436 |
| Duke University | Durham | $87,422 | $349,688 | $365,741 |
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.
