Hey guys, I'm a high school junior interested in applying to UTSA. I want to get an idea of how much the room and board might cost there. Does anyone have any information or a ballpark figure? Appreciate any help!
Hi there! The cost of room and board at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) can vary depending on factors like housing options, meal plans, and personal preferences. For a general range, though, you can expect to pay around $14,000 per academic year for on-campus housing and meal plans. If you live off-campus, that goes down to about $10,000.
There are several different on-campus housing and dining options at UTSA, with different costs for different styles of dorms or different quantities of meal swipes and dining dollars. So, you can lower your room and board fees slightly if you’re strategic.
Additionally, these fees may change in future years, and there may be additional fees related to housing and dining, like application fees, security deposits, and laundry. I'd recommend checking out UTSA's Housing and Residence Life website to get a more detailed breakdown of their current housing options and related fees, while the UTSA dining website will have information on available meal plans and costs. You might also consider reaching out to the financial aid office for advice on how to ensure your lifestyle in college is affordable.
Good luck with your college search!
