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 recommend Weatherford College! I am from a small town of about 3,000 people and I was scared to go to college because I have never been in a big school. College just sounded big. I looked at many colleges and they were all so big. This college was the best pick. Weatherford is a great town, it is close to Fort Worth and Dallas. Calm enough to walk around your neighborhood and meet new people. The college is just the same, from the beginning I made lots of new friends, including the teachers. Classes are small enough in order to learn and comprehend the lessons. We are able to ask questions and be comfortable with everyone there. My classes are small and friendly. My biggest class has like 20 students, who are also my friends. I fully recommend this college!
Modely from Olney, TX

LeRoy from Weatherford, TX
A very small school on the rise. Living arrangements are very comfortable. Everything is easy to access including tutorials.
Vanessa from Brady, TX
The facility is brand new and very nice, although there are still some kinks to be worked out. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There is not a huge variety of classes because it is mostly a nursing school.
