Many factors go into the cost of your education, such as where you live and whether you qualify for discounts or financial aid.

Financial aid comes in many forms: some of the money you have to pay back (loans), and some of it you don’t (grants and scholarships). Some you can earn by working on campus or at a work-study job.
