How to Compare Room & Board Costs

Compare on-campus and off-campus living costs for the academic year.

Formula

Off-Campus Annual = (Monthly Rent + Monthly Food) x Academic Months

Savings = On-Campus Cost - Off-Campus Cost

Positive savings means off-campus is cheaper. Include utilities, commute costs, and meal plan value for a full comparison.

Ejemplo Resuelto

On-campus costs $13,000/year. Off-campus rent is $800/mo and food is $350/mo for 9 months.

  1. Off-campus annual = ($800 + $350) x 9 = $10,350
  2. Savings = $13,000 - $10,350 = $2,650
  3. Living off-campus saves $2,650 per year
