*** Did you know that law schools' living expense estimates are not always based on comparable living situations? Some schools provide "high" estimates based on more expensive lifestyle choices (such as living alone) while others make "low" estimates based on less expensive choices (such as living with a roommate). Read more about Vanderbilt's living expense estimate and how to compare it to other law schools' estimates.
Tuition for the academic year is payable in two equal installments, at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. In addition to tuition, fees include:
- A nonrefundable seat deposit when you accept admission, which is credited toward the fall semester bill.
- Student health insurance through Vanderbilt which may be waived if you have comparable coverage through another provider.
- Annual activities and recreation fee which provides access to the campus recreation center, the Sarratt Student Center and many campus events.
