How Much Are Living Expenses?
Dorm prices are based on the amenities available. The average cost of a dorm room is $1,600 for two semesters (one academic term). Meal plans range in price based on the number of meals per week you wish to eat in the cafeteria. There are 10-meal, 14-meal, 19-meal, and flexible meal plans.
