How can you calculate the amount of money you owe your college?

I would go to the University web site and search for tuition/costs. After adding up the costs of tuition, you need to factor in books and then cost of dorms/apartments/food, transportation, etc. You should always apply for scholarships/financial aid wherever you can find them. You will need to go to the FAFSA site and they can also help. Univ of Chicago is one of the best private schools to my knowledge, so I would think that they may be quite pricey. Also, yearly costs may increase so you have to factor that in. if $ is an issue, many students go to a Junior/community college first, get great grades and then transfer to a 4 year college for their BA/BS

You can look at best colleges/universities ranking, profile and other details. You can also compare colleges by cost, ranking and any other criteria that interests you.
In addition to T&F, make sure to calculate Room and Board (if staying on campus) or living expenses like rent, utilities, food etc. (if staying off campus). PLUS Books and other Miscellaneous costs
