  • (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

The school makes me feel like I'm at home and treated me like if I was part of a family instead of just another student. The professors were very nice and generous in helping me understand some objectives that I was not able to comprehend myself. Exploring the school felt like a field trip, the inside of the school brought a smile to my face, I'm very eager and excited to start attending.
