Hey, everyone! I'm considering enrolling at RIT, but I'm not sure about the housing expenses. Can someone give me an idea of the average housing costs at RIT? I want to make sure I'm budgeting appropriately. Thanks!
Hello! Attending RIT and planning your housing budget is a smart idea. At RIT, housing costs can vary based on the type of residence you choose and the specific dormitory or apartment complex. Below are some general ranges for the 2024-2025 academic year, but note that these costs may change for future years, so make sure to check RIT's website for the most up-to-date information.
- Residence Halls: These are primarily for first and second-year students, and costs range from around $4,500 to $6,000 per semester.
