Over the entire degree (assuming you graduate on time), the total comes to about $114,131 for a bachelor’s, while two years would run about $52,141 for a two-year stay.

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.
