How much does attending a 4-year college or university cost and is it worth your hard earned money? In this video, I show you just exactly how much I spent on tuition, rent, essentials, etc. to get my engineering degree. The goal is to help anyone of you deciding whether traditional university makes sense financially or if something like community college or studying abroad is a better choice.

I studied Mechanical Engineering at Boston University, so keep in mind the numbers in this video represent more so the cost of a 4-year private university in the United States. The cost of university and program can vary greatly from country to country, but this just gives you a general idea of what to expect.
