Rates

2018-19 Academic Year – New Students (projected)

Projected rates for 2018-19 reflect total room & board, including room, utilities, dining program fees, and food purchases.

The projected annual rates for 2018-19 listed below are per resident and include housing during Thanksgiving and spring recess. Most new residents are assigned to a double room.

Rates vary based on hall amenities, learning community fees, and meal plan. Costs are billed in quarterly installments and include high-speed campus wireless internet, HDTV cable, furniture, and utilities.

Meal Plan

Students select from one of three meal plan tiers, based on their eating habits and how much they plan to dine on campus. Money for food purchases, which is included in the room & board rates, is loaded onto the Resident Food Account on their Wiscard. Our marketplace-style dining is entirely à la carte. Residents receive discounted pricing on food in University Housing Dining locations, as well as other incentives at higher tiers.
