If current developments in housing and meal expenses go on, we expect incoming freshman students in 2022 to pay about $17,599 in their first year of school. Those individuals will likely end up spending around $17,769 for their 2nd year, and $18,117 for their fourth year.
The room and board total over four years will be approximately $71,429; for two years it will be about $35,369.
