Penn State room and board costs?

I'm considering Penn State and I'm trying to calculate my expenses. Does anyone have info on the room and board costs there?

Of course! For the 2024-2025 academic year, room and board costs at Penn State University Park, the main campus, are as follows:

Room cost (standard double): approximately $6,120 per academic year

Meal Plan (starting with the Lion Cash Plus 800 option): approximately $4,580 per academic year

Together, the room and board cost is around $10,700 per academic year. However, keep in mind that room costs can vary depending on the type of room you choose (single, double, triple, etc.) and the specific residence hall. Additionally, there are multiple meal plan options, so the total cost of your room and board may vary depending on your preferences.

Don't forget to factor in expenses like textbooks, personal expenses, and any fees specific to your major or extracurricular activities when calculating your overall college costs. If you need help estimating your financial aid and net price, Penn State offers a net price calculator on their website, which can be a helpful resource.
