Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

REVIEWS

Read What Students Are Saying
This past year I was very impressed with the professors and how they were teaching their classes. They each had their own way of explaining and doing different things, but each got their point across very effectively. This small class atmosphere and one on one help really gave me the chance to prosper in the classroom.
