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.

Good gracious! I'm learning so much! Who knew there was so much meaning in what seemed before to be orderless Sunday School stories!
Shea from Spokane, WA
Going to Multnomah gave me a whole new perspective on who Jesus really is!! I love all my classes! The homework is normal but the knowledge they give you is outstanding!!
Amber from Boring, OR
I believe that Multnomah University is a great place to learn about God and develop healthy relationships. It preps one to go into ministry here in America and over seas. The best thing about Multnomah is that is a great place for community.
Christine from Portland, OR
I would give Multnomah University a rating of 9/10. If you are looking for a school that offers a double major in biblical studies as well as a major you can use anywhere else, like education, business, psychology, etc. then Multnomah is the place for you. It provides on-campus and free tutoring and counseling while providing on-campus living.
Rachel from Kent, WA
The campus is beautiful and we are all a big family. We learn together and support each other. We have world-class professors, who have first hand experience in their fields.
Kirstin from Tucson, AZ
A wonderful, beautiful, well-kept campus.
The school has knowledgeable, caring teachers who go the extra mile to help and teach students.
The other students, whether they be living on campus or commuters, are all very welcoming and help bring joy to class rooms.
