Hey, I'm looking into OSU as a possible college choice, and I'm trying to figure out the typical cost of room and board. Does anyone know roughly how much it is to live on-campus at Ohio State University?
The cost of room and board at Ohio State University can vary depending on your choice of housing and meal plan. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the cost for a standard double room in an on-campus residence hall ranges from $3,700 to $4,200 per semester. Meal plans range from about $1,995 to $2,600 per semester, depending on the number of meals and dining dollars included.
To get a better estimate of the total cost of room and board, you can expect to pay approximately $8,390 to $9,600 per academic year, considering both housing and meal plan options. Keep in mind that these figures may change slightly each year due to inflation and updates in university policies.
It's always a good idea to visit Ohio State University's official housing and dining websites for the most accurate and up-to-date information on room and board costs and available options.
