* estimated

Year over year, room and board rose an average of 1.4% each year. Carrying that rate forward one year puts on-campus living costs near $20,336 for their first year on campus.

Projected forward, the last year of a four-year degree runs about $21,065 for a four-year (bachelor’s) degree, and about $20,576 in the final year of a two-year (associate) degree.

For a full bachelor’s degree, expect to spend a total of around $82,796 for a bachelor’s, while two years would run about $40,912 over a two-year associate program.

Budget for Annual Increases

Most schools raise housing and dining costs gradually each year, so today’s figure is unlikely to be what you pay all four years.
