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.

In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

Walking into Chowan University is like walking into your momma arms, feeling warm and comfortable. It is like a family environment that makes you want to stay. The anxiety I feel to start in the fall keeps growing because I know I will be at home.
The place has a lot of nature and nice outside settings.There is many animals and squirrels there.The weather is always nice and sunny but has a nice cool breeze.
