Rates & Fees
These rates and fees are effective at the start of the Academic Year and are subject to change. Room rates are pro-rated to a daily rate. Residents are charged for the number of days as confirmed by the resident upon admission.
This room can be shared with your significant other and/or dependents.
* = Please note that this is the rate if payment is made by ACH (electronic transfer) or personal check. Payments made by credit card will be higher. At this time we are working on minimizing the difference between the two payment methods and encourage you to make payments by ACH or personal check to pay the lowest room rate compared to paying by credit card.
