Hey everyone! I'm considering Texas A&M University for college and I'm trying to budget for expenses. Can someone give me a ballpark estimate of how much room and board costs per year for undergraduates? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Room and board costs at Texas A&M University can vary depending on the type of on-campus housing and meal plan you choose. Generally, for the 2024-2025 academic year, on-campus housing costs range from around $6,000 to $9,000 per semester, and meal plans range from around $2,000 to $3,000 per semester.
So, for the full academic year, you can expect to pay anywhere between $11,00 to $13,000 for room and board. Keep in mind that these estimates might change, and you should definitely check the Texas A&M Housing and Residence Life website for the most updated information as you plan your budget.
Additionally, some sources of financial aid, or particular scholarships, may help cover room and board. If you have any questions about your eligibility for aid at Texas A&M, don't hesitate to reach out to their financial aid office directly.
