  • (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.

What Students Are Saying

Wofford is a small college with big dreams. This college might be small, but has plenty of options for research and internships. I highly recommend this college if you're looking for deep, personal relationships with your fellow classmates and professors.
Meghan from Columbia, SC
Wofford has a beautiful campus covered in greenery. It has an incredibly friendly environment due to its small student population. All the staff members are truly helpful to anyone needing assistance.
