Estimate repayment

Estimated loan burden for OAKLAND using 4 years of in-state tuition, $1,500 annual fees, $3,000 monthly living expenses, government-derived local cost-of-living adjustment, $1,000 loan fees, and an 8.5% interest assumption.

Cost of Living: Near national average cost of living

Rochester, MI is close to the national average for cost of living. In the debt estimate, the government-derived local cost adjustment keeps the $3,000 monthly allowance at about $3,000 per month. Treat this as a city-level budgeting estimate, not the school's official cost of attendance.

Environment: Urban

There is currently insufficient information to assess the neighborhood around OAKLAND.
