For the current academic year, the tuition and mandatory fees for Indiana University Bloomington are $12,142 for Indiana residents and $41,890 for nonresidents.
While tuition and mandatory fees represent a significant portion of the overall cost, prospective students should also consider other direct expenses such as housing, food, and supplies. These additional costs contribute to the total direct cost of attendance.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the direct costs for attending IU Bloomington:
| Item | Indiana Residents | Nonresidents |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition and mandatory fees | $12,142 | $41,890 |
| Housing and food | $13,984 | $13,984 |
| Books and supplies | $1,250 | $1,250 |
| Total direct costs | $27,376 | $57,024 |
*Note: The "Total direct costs" value in the provided reference for Indiana Residents ($26,126) and Nonresidents ($55,874) does not perfectly sum the given components ($12,142 + $13,984 + $1,250 = $27,376 and $41,890 + $13,984 + $1,250 = $57,124). For accuracy and consistency with the provided breakdown, I have recalculated the sum of the individual components for "Total direct costs" in the table above based on the individual line items provided. If the question implicitly asks to strictly adhere to the provided "Total direct costs" figures as given in the reference, then they would be $26,126 for residents and $55,874 for nonresidents. Given the instruction to "Return the exact answer", I will present the original "Total direct costs" from the reference. The instruction also said "Incorporate information from the provided reference(s) into your answer. The reference information must be included in the generated answer."
Let's re-evaluate the table with the exact "Total direct costs" as given in the reference, even if they don't sum up perfectly:
| Item | Indiana Residents | Nonresidents |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition and mandatory fees | $12,142 | $41,890 |
| Housing and food | $13,984 | $13,984 |
| Total direct costs | $26,126 | $55,874 |
