When clicking on a school, would someone clarify the tuition and costs to me?
Is the Cost of living (off campus) the estimation of only the cost-of-living expenses (rent, groceries, etc) apart from the tuition?
And the actual Total cost is the cost of 1 year or semester? (again, apart from the cost of living).
We should be looking at the total cost for a year's tuition and of course the 3 years for the entirety of the full-time completion. Am I understanding this correctly?
And for the scholarship predictor- this is only for one year correct?

Do you mean "clicking on a school" as in "clicking on this page (https://7sage.com/admissions/tuition-and-costs) on our website"? Just making sure!
If it is that page on our site, we're drawing that information from the school's standardized report to the American Bar Association. The "Cost of Living" would be the estimates that schools give for room and board, living expenses, travel, etc etc etc.
"Tuition per year" is tuition per year, not per semester.
And the "Total 3 Year Cost" at the far right is the combination is basically (this year's tuition + this year's cost of living) x 3. You should assume tuition costs will go up a bit every year.
I hope that helps!
@JacobBaska Okay! So lets say we lived with our parents ( just an example!)- we could subtract the cost of living to the total 3 year cost ?
@JhovannyAcevedo You could do that! The cost of living budget is just an estimate from the school - it’s not a required budget. Some people will do things to save money and others will spend more.
hey! i can comment on the cost of living part. the estimated cost of living is totally separate from your tuition and is an estimate created by the school based on the average prices in the area. when looking at cost, i typically ignore that part, since rent, groceries, etc. are completely dependent on my own budget. however, it could be good to pay attention to if you're concerned about how much it'll cost to live in the area!
