Cost Overview
Families earning under $30,000 pay around $5,059 annually at Raritan Valley, while those making over $110,000 pay nearly $13,000. The college keeps costs manageable for working-class students who make up its core constituency. Over two years, total expenses range from roughly $10,000 to $26,000 depending on family income.
Only 4% of students take federal loans, reflecting the school's affordability and the fact that 99% of students are New Jersey residents paying in-state rates. Those who do borrow graduate with a median debt of $10,500, translating to monthly payments of $111. With graduates earning a median of $48,145 ten years out, loan payments represent a reasonable 3% of income. The best deal goes to lower-income students, who pay less than half what wealthy families do and often avoid borrowing entirely.
