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.

I am studying occupational therapy and could not be more pleased with the academic portion of my Concordia experience. I was able to begin taking classes related to my major in my freshman year, instead of having to finish a lot of prerequisites first. The small class sizes make it very easy to get to know your professor and to get help from them whenever you need it.
Elizabeth from Whitefish Bay, WI
The professors at Concordia are very willing to make time to individually get to know their students. This makes it comforting to be able to utilize their office hours, meeting them outside of class to ask additional questions and recieve the needed help. The tutoring program at Concordia was also very helpful for me because you are getting the help that you need, on your schedule, with a current student. Knowing that this person was once in your spot makes it more comforting to ask questions to someone your own age, reviewing anything that you may need additional understanding on. The class sizes here make it easy to ask questions and interact not only with the professor themselves but the students as well.
Samantha from Hartford, WI
I am an education major and one of the greatest ways to see if you have the potential of becoming a great teacher is through observing and practicing. At CUW, we're provided many hours each year to go to schools, work with children, and learn through experience- not just through lecture. During class time at CUW, we still learn a lot through tips, instructions, and great strategies we can use in our future classrooms.
Hannah from Eden Prairie, MN
I have gone to private schools my entire life. Since the first grade I have known the same group of people. When I graduated high school, I wanted to leave Wisconsin and try public school. I met some interesting people, but to be honest, I felt like the education I received was not worth the $30,000 I had to pay. Concordia has teachers that CARE if you pass or fail. At many public schools, the teachers don't care about pushing you. I don't feel like another face in the crowd at CUW. I feel like I matter!
Sherron from Milwaukee, WI
Concordia University is a very homey institution. It's baisically high school with dorms. The class sizes are small so there is one on one time with the professors and overall it's great.
Ryan from Milwaukee, WI
An amazing place to study, whether you want to do it in the library, or outside, looking at the lake. The academics are challenging, yet the teachers, and fellow students are friendly and encouraging. A great place to learn about Christ and all he did for us.
Timothy from Sterling Heights, MI
Concordia is a great community to be a part of. You are able to get to know your professor and he/she to get to know you to help you with the course you are taking because of the smaller classrooms, the campus is wonderful by Lake Michigan, and you can definitely grow in your faith and relationships with others.
Marissa from Beaver Dam, WI
Concordia is a community oriented university interested in the success of all of its past, present, and future students. This university is constantly trying to update, remodel, and stay up to date with the latest and nicest facilities and technology. Professors are friendly and care about the success of the students.
Taylor from Waupaca, WI
From what I have read, the educational aspect of this school is phenomenal. Also, I have met several people who have attended Concordia and have stressed to me how their learning experience was not like any other.
Kelly from Tupelo, MS
I learned so much my first semester of college! It was a lot different than high school. You have small classes and you and the teachers take time to let you get to know everyone in your class. Also you get to know your teacher. They will know you by name at least by the end of the first month unlike other colleges where the teacher will never know you by name or who you are. The teachers are very caring and they want to see you pass. They will answer any of your questions and take time out of their day to help you. They will never let you fall behind. I would definitely recommend this school if you want to really learn everything for your major. I've had a professional tell me that their best employee was from Concordia and that they knew more than any other employee when they first started!
Miranda from Kingsford, MI
