Cost Overview

Families actually pay $14,170 on average after financial aid, far below the $28,654 sticker price. Low-income students pay just $9,627 annually, while wealthy families pay $22,658. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $38,500 to $90,600 depending on family income.

Most ODU graduates carry $24,000 in debt, translating to $254 monthly payments. With median earnings of $54,914 ten years out, graduates typically handle loan payments without major strain. The 52% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle, but starting salaries around $46,400 provide a decent foundation.

Virginia residents get the strongest value proposition here. With 88% of students from in-state, ODU clearly serves as an affordable option for local families. Engineering students particularly benefit from strong programs at public school prices, especially given Norfolk's proximity to major employers in the defense and maritime industries.
