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.

College of Central Florida is very affordable and has quality instructors. Professors and administrators honestly care about their students and are willing to work with them. Their small class sizes and hands-on instruction really helps when learning difficult subject matter.

CF is a great college to earn 2 and 4 year degrees in a setting of small classes and wonderful professors. CF also has campuses in Marion, Levy, and Citrus Counties as well as online classes. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give CF a 10.
