* estimated

Continuing the same trend, the final-year cost would be roughly $19,886 in year four — and a two-year student about $18,596 in their second and final year.

Across all four years, on-campus living costs would total approximately $75,700 for a four-year degree, versus about $36,586 for a two-year stay.

Plan for Cost Creep

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