Hey everyone, I'm considering attending Iowa State University, and I wanted to get an idea of the housing costs on campus. Can anyone give me an estimate or share their experiences with ISU's housing options? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Iowa State University offers a variety of housing options on campus, so the cost can vary depending on your preferences and the specific accommodations you choose. Here's a general idea of the costs for the 2021-2022 academic year:
- Standard Double Room (shared room with one roommate): $5,000 per academic year
- Single Room (private room): $6,000 per academic year
- Suite-style or Apartment-style: Costs for these options can range from $6,500 to over $7,300 per academic year.
In addition to the room costs, you'll also need to factor in your meal plan. Meal plan costs for the 2023-2024 academic year range from about $4,500 for the most basic plan to $4,800 for the most extensive plan.
Keep in mind that these costs are for the current academic year and may change for the upcoming year. You should check ISU's housing website for the most up-to-date pricing and details on the available options.
Many students who've lived on-campus at ISU say that the residence halls are well-maintained and the community atmosphere is very welcoming. Choosing to live on campus is often a great way to meet new friends, get involved in various activities and events, and make the most of your time at Iowa State. However, it's important to research the different residence halls and choose the one that best aligns with your preferences in terms of location, amenities, and room style.
Good luck with your college decision, and I hope you find this information helpful!
