* estimated

Over the reported period, on-campus housing and dining changed about 2.1% per year. Carrying that rate forward one year puts on-campus living costs near $16,384 for their first year on campus.

At this pace, a senior would spend approximately $17,178 in year four — and a two-year student about $16,643 in their second and final year.

Over a four-year stay, the projected room, board and living-cost total is about $67,113 for a bachelor’s, while two years would run about $33,027 for two years on campus.

Budget for Annual 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.
