Room and board changed an average of 6.0% a year over the last three years. If that pace holds, room and board would land around $18,876 for room, board and essentials in year one.
By their final year, a student might pay about $21,854 in year four — and a two-year student about $19,811 in their second and final year.
Over the entire degree (assuming you graduate on time), the total comes to about $81,344 for four years, or about $38,687 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.
