2018-19 Academic Year – New Students (projected)

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
