Don, that’s the cost of attendance next year:

Generally, it depend on your income so it varies from person to person. Usually, they’ll stick to institutional and state grants and then direct federal loans (stafford and perkins) which accrue no interest while in school, have a 9 month grace period after you leave school, have a fixed low interest rate (5%) etc.

Kiplinger and USNews say UNC students graduate with 14k in debt (over 4 yrs), so I assume you’d be less than that with only two years? Though with state budget cuts, they might not be as generous with grant student aid especially for out of state. Also keep in mind that students whose parents are full pay might not have any debt and bring down that average.
