Disclaimer
Actual room and board costs will vary, depending on dorm type and meal plan. (Apartment Single and Pioneer 5 meal plan used for above sample) Many students living off-campus have roommates, which decreases their housing costs.
The cost of living can vary significantly depending on the location.
All sections under on-campus housing labeled as included mean the cost is part of the rent.
