The cost of living on campus

We understand that everyone has unique needs, so we offer a variety of price options to help you find a place that fits your comfort, budget, and preferences. Costs are billed in two equal installments each academic year in August and December. Apartments will be billed by semester starting August 2025.

Additional fees include a $30/semester student government activity fee for residence halls and furnished apartments, and a $9/semester fee for unfurnished apartments. Additional costs for living-learning communities vary.
