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.

This college has many different possible majors and minors. It has classes based on liberal arts and those for specialized for majors. I am learning a LOT here. Not only through just the liberal arts courses but also the Nursing courses I am currently taking. It has helped me understand more about life, people, and much more.
Tessa from Appleton, WI
The professors are very knowledgable and helpful. The support staff is wonderful and the university offers tremendous paths for dvelopment.
Greg from Princeton, WI
This summer I took a math course online and was very pleased to find that my instructor was always available to help, and very patient with me. Math is not my strongest point but he helped me get an A and I took away a lot of information that I wont be forgetting anytime soon.
Allison from Pleasant Prairie, WI

Sara from Beaver Dam, WI
Marian is the most intimate campus I could have imagined. Professors actually care about you here, and truly want to help you to success.
Brooke from Fond Du Lac, WI
Accommodating. Friendly. Inspiring.
Marian has helped me from the moment I took the campus tour two years ago up until my current enrollment in the school. We all have things come up in our lives and Marian made it easy to find courses and a program that would benefit my schedule.
Patricia from Beaver Dam, WI
Marian University offers a program where you are truly not a number but are a name. The small campus makes it a very comfortable and involved environment to be a part of. The nursing faculty is dedicated to ensuring that you become the best nurse you can be and are excited to join you on this special journey of your life.
A Look from a Nursing Student
Marian is a small campus filled with fun and excitement. It provides on campus jobs for students along with 24 hour assistance.
