Tuition and fees, housing and food, miscellaneous fees... it's a lot of numbers to keep track of, we know. To help you understand the actual cost of the ODU experience before financial aid, we've bundled everything together, breaking it down by enrollment status (i.e. full-time vs. part-time, etc.) and the type of student you may be (i.e. living on campus, commuter, dependent, independent, etc.). 

These cost of attendance components represent average billed cost amounts as well as allowances for other non-billed expenses.
