I'll play the room and board game....Eastern Kentucky University - standard room, double occupancy, a/c, community hall bathroom 3,410.00 a YEAR. 150 meals + 375.00 credit to use at campus based vendors(yes, starbucks in on her plan) 2,468.00 a YEAR. Total= 5,878 a YEAR to live on campus. No crazy fees, 12.00 for athletic facility usage a semester and 35.00 semester to park on campus. Yes, my older DD loves her school!!!
DS's #1 school room/standard, hall bath, 2 people, a/c = 5,458 YEAR, meal plan 4.421 a YEAR = 9,879, its slightly higher than tuition, now I know why they don't offer housing with their merit scholarships. Eastern does. #1 school does charge for a loft(100.00 year) EKU doesn't allow lofts.
If you know someone with solid 3.75 gpa, a ACTscore higher than 30 - Eastern hands out a lot of full ride academic scholarships - 3.0 to keep. Join the honors program(selective but do able)they will also pay for your books on loan. Its a smaller school (12K on campus)just outside of Lexington to the south.
Have seen some crazy room and board charges -- we've shopped about 15 schools now between the 2 kids. But I've never seen 12K bills either. Love my small midwest schools!!!
