Like tuition, room and board usually rises a little each year. Knowing where it is headed helps you budget for the full degree, not just year one.

Carried across a typical four-year degree, room, board and other living costs add up to about $80,453 in room, board and other essentials.

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

Year	Room & Board
Three Years Ago	$14,400

One Year Ago	$14,700

* estimated

Most recently, on-campus costs increased an average of 0.9% each year. Carrying that rate forward one year puts on-campus living costs near $19,905 for room, board and essentials in year one.

At this pace, a senior would spend approximately $20,323 for a bachelor’s degree, while a two-year (associate) student would pay around $20,043 in their second and final year.

For a full bachelor’s degree, expect to spend a total of around $80,453 for a four-year degree, versus about $39,948 for a two-year (associate) degree.
