Hey all! I'm going to be attending the University of South Florida (USF) this fall, and I was hoping to get an idea of how much I should expect to pay for room and board. Any current or former students have an idea of the costs? Thanks!
Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of South Florida! Room and board costs can vary depending on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the cost of on-campus housing at USF ranged averaged $8,840 per semester, depending on the type of room and residential hall. Keep in mind that prices may change, so you should check for updates on the USF Housing website.
As for meal plans, USF offers several options to cater to different needs and budgets.
