Housing and Meal Plan Fees
Come for the Experience. Discover the Value.
When you choose to live on campus, your living space, utilities, Wi‑Fi, and maintenance, along with community support, resources, and programming, are bundled into a single cost. This eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple bills or dealing with landlords and service providers, and creates a simpler, more supportive living experience so you can stay focused on your college journey.
Cost Comparison
In most instances, the cost of living on campus is less than living off campus. Campus security and Residential Life staff available 24/7 is also included with your housing fees, so you can enjoy a stress-free living experience.
