Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
This school definitely gives you a good bang for the buck. (Is that how you use that phrase?) It's the best deal for college that I have ever seen. It's very affordable. If it weren't for Metro, I don't think I would be able to afford to go to college.
Ashlynn from Morrison, CO
Every dollar spent on this campus truly stays here. Abundant knowledge is gained at Metro and every dollar spent truly goes toward learning. The text books are incredibly useful because they completely sync with what the professors have planned in the syllabus. Textbooks can be pricey, but with the help of online purchasing and bookstores scattered throughout downtown Denver; also there are many other students willing to trade books, there is no reason to complain about the price of textbooks with that many alternatives.
Ricardo from Aurora, CO
For being such a big school its really cheap. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to go there. But just because the tuition is low it doesn't mean that its a bad school. I'm happy that they have made it where you don't have to pay so much just to get a higher education.
Joanna from Denver, CO
Tuition is affordable, and the school also provides many work study opportunities. There is also a store near the 16st Mall that will sell and buy your textbooks for a better price. Its really convenient because its just a block away from campus. It really is a great school if your on a budget. Quality education for a great price people!
Isahar from Commerce City, CO
Metro State is best known for it's affordability. Quality education for not a whole lot of money.
