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 just completed my freshman year here so I have not taken many classes, however, every class I have taken has taught me quite a bit. My favorite part about the classes is the size; even introductory classes are never above 40 students. In fact, I was once in a chemistry class with only three other students. This allows the teacher to really help you when you have questions or need a concept to be explained in a different way. The teachers are able to meet your needs as a student because class sizes are small enough that they can actually get to know you.
Alaina from Portland, OR
The classes and professors are absolutely wonderful. The professors here like to encourage a challenge upon you. Although it may be challenging, they are excellent helpers. They sort of act like parents—they really care about you and they definitely show it. They are here to help you if you have any questions or problems regarding the classroom environment or workload. I absolutely love the classroom sizes here. I tried to imagine being in a big class where I was one out of 300 students and I was terrified. Luckily, University of Redlands’ classes are nothing like that. The biggest class I’m in has about 20 students. What’s great about the classes too are that there are unlimited amount of sources of help. There’s one-on-one tutoring with either the teacher (during class and their office hours which are most of the time flexible), the tutors on campus, and there’s actually a tutoring center here as well—so there’s services here for YOU literally everywhere. Also, the school offers a lot of opportunities such as work study, internships and I’ve heard that even if you graduate from the University of Redlands, the job services are still there to help you until you get the job you want.
Jeanette from Honolulu, HI
This University is fun, Environmentally conscious, and full of a diverse amount of people. If you are looking for a school that balances a liberal, experiential education with the traditional classroom and book scenario, then this is the school for you. Be sure to bring plenty of shorts, because it gets -hot- here!
Holly from Jonesville, MI
The classes here are amazing. The professor really encourage their students to actively participate in class and offer their point of view. It is also really helpful that the class sizes for each class don't usually go past 20 people. This means that I've gotten a lot of one on one time with the professor when I needed help with the course. The classes are enjoyable which makes learning the material easier.
Kelly from LA Quinta, CA
The University of Redlands is one of the best decisions of my life because it is full of the friendliest, most dedicated and most amazing people I've ever met. My professors know who I am and actually care about me. The groups on campus will be the people I will keep in touch with forever.
Lily from Redlands, CA
As a Johnston Center student I have been given the unique opportunity to craft my own undergraduate experience by creating my own major. Instead of grades, we receive evaluations for every class - a system that allows for students to reflect on their weaknesses and strengths. The U of R has a bit everything for everyone and here you can truly make your college experience what you want to make of it - it's all up to you the student.
Cindy from Woodhaven, NY
I am currently in the MBA program at the Burbank campus. I am finishing my fourth class and I have gained a great deal of knowledge from each class taken in my program. All of my professors have been very dedicated to the students and take any steps available to help them succeed.
Kenneth from Sherman Oaks, CA
Attending the University of Redlands was the best choice I could have ever made. Here, I can pursue all my interests, build a community of friends, and dare to be different. That Good Ol' U of R is the absolute best and I could not be more happy and appreciative to be here.
Ashley from Redlands, CA
The University of Redlands offers class sizes that are small and allow you to a have a great learning experience with the Professors. The Professors on campus truly are some of the best because of their enthusiasm, love for what they do, and they help students achieve nothing less than their best. The campus is a very welcoming environment and the town surrounding the campus is wonderful.
Zachary from Lake Arrowhead, CA
Due to its small population, Redlands has smaller classes, and therefore the teacher knows every student by name and is able to help them individually with office hours and no-cost tutoring. The school is very liberal, accepting and inclusive, with plenty of opportunities for minorities to express themselves without fear of discrimination. There are many opportunities for living on campus and off campus, and the community director and assistants at the residence halls are friendly, helpful and kind.
