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.

Read What Students Are Saying
I am learning a lot in all of my classes. They go beyond what a standard teacher would do and explain it in detail.
Craig from North Platte, NE
Even though it's a community college and some of the teachers are boring, there's still others that make an impact. You need to spend time on campus and figure out which teachers are the good ones so you don't get stuck in a going no-where class.
