Cost Overview

Families at Suffolk actually pay $30,031 on average after financial aid, not the $66,142 sticker price. Net costs range from $25,575 for families earning under $30,000 to $35,802 for those making over $110,000. Over four years, expect to pay between $102,300 and $143,208 depending on income level.

The debt picture looks manageable for a Boston location. Graduates leave with $26,889 in median debt, translating to $285 monthly payments. With Suffolk grads earning $67,506 ten years out, those loan payments represent about 5% of income. The 70% loan repayment rate suggests most handle the debt burden well. Only 21% of students receive institutional grants averaging $27,856, but the broad acceptance rate of 87% means Suffolk casts a wide net. Lower-income families get the best deal here, paying roughly the same as middle-class families despite the steep tuition.
