If you enroll at Salve Regina University, you’ll be within a small student body - the total number of students enrolled is just under 3,000 and the student-to-faculty ratio is a low 13 to 1. The campus, in its entirety, is actually quite small, though it may not feel like it because of how close it sits to the surrounding community, spread out near the shore of nearby Easton Bay. The student library is close to the main university and Reefe Hall, the student dorm, is just beyond that.

Overview of Salve Regina University
When you go out into Newport, Rhode Island, the town where the college is located, you’ll see that there’s more to it than it might originally seem. Newport is a large suburb on an island just south of Providence, RI. You’ll find museums and beaches where you can relax between your studies, such as The Breakers, which was the summer home of the Vanderbilts and is now a historic house and museum you can visit. Fort Wetherill State Park is across the bay and easily reachable for a day’s relaxation.
Salve Regina University is a private, not-for-profit institution. You may have figured out from the university’s name that it’s affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.
If you took Advanced Placement (AP) classes and passed some of the exams, these may help you earn additional credits. So might dual credits, which are credits earned simultaneously with a high school diploma. Make sure you ask about these if you’re interested in giving your college career a boost.

Salve Regina Tuition Cost & Financial Aid
The term for all items charged to you after you enroll is the sticker price. This includes your tuition, books, supplies, room, board, and other charges and fees. At Salve Regina University, this amount (for the 2019-2020 year) came to $61,260, but you may end up with a lower bill than that.
The cost of attendance after financial aid (in 2018-2019) was applied only came to $36,646. This is the average net price. Still, if your family falls below a certain income line, you may still pay less than that. This all depends on how much financial aid you receive. Since financial aid is applied based on your family’s income, you may pay much less than the average student. You will also pay less if you earn extra grants or scholarships through outside programs. For a family earning between $48,001 and $75,000 in 2019-2020, this cost was $29,287.
Of course, financial aid affects all of those amounts. Every beginning student qualified for financial aid. And that percentage of students received an average of $22,599 in grants or scholarships. Just one percentage point less (99%) averaged $21,508 in institutional grants and scholarships.
