Year over year, room and board rose an average of 3.5% each year. Carrying that rate forward one year puts on-campus living costs near $18,645 in housing, food and other costs their first year.
Projected forward, the last year of a four-year degree runs about $20,335 in year four — and a two-year student about $19,189 in the final year of a two-year (associate) degree.
Over a four-year stay, the projected room, board and living-cost total is about $77,921 for four years, or about $37,834 over a two-year associate program.
Most schools raise housing and dining costs gradually each year, so today’s figure is unlikely to be what you pay all four years.
