Tuition is not the only college cost that climbs each year — room and board does too. Knowing where it is headed helps you budget for the full degree, not just year one.

At the projected rate, four years of on-campus living costs would total roughly $104,914 by the time you graduate.

This is how on-campus room and board has tracked over the last few years, plus a forward projection, at Welch College.

Year	Room & Board
Three Years Ago	$14,728

* estimated

Year over year, room and board rose an average of 3.3% each year. If that pace holds, room and board would land around $25,394 for room, board and essentials in year one.

By their final year, a student might pay about $27,081 in year four — and a two-year student about $25,939 for the last year of an associate degree.

Over a four-year stay, the projected room, board and living-cost total is about $104,914 over four years — compared with roughly $51,333 for a two-year (associate) degree.

Do Not Ignore Yearly 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.
