Most recently, on-campus costs increased an average of 10.7% annually. Carrying that rate forward one year puts on-campus living costs near $28,780 for room, board and essentials in year one.

Continuing the same trend, the final-year cost would be roughly $36,491 in year four — and a two-year student about $31,093 by the end of a two-year program.

Over the entire degree (assuming you graduate on time), the total comes to about $130,018 for four years, or about $59,873 for a two-year (associate) degree.
