Fordham Room and Board Costs?

Hey guys, I'm considering applying to Fordham University and I'm curious about the expenses related to housing. Can anyone fill me in on the costs of room and board at Fordham?

At Fordham University, the room and board costs may vary based on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. For the 2022-2023 academic year, the estimated cost for room and board at the Rose Hill (Bronx) campus ranged from $18,510 to $23,340 per year, while at the Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus the cost ranged from $18,320 to $22,590 per year. These costs include both your housing and a meal plan.

As for meal plans, Fordham offers various options, and the prices range from around $2,660 to $3,280 per semester. Keep in mind that meal plans generally come with different allocations of dining points and meal swipes, so you'll want to figure out which option makes the most sense for your eating habits and preferences.

It's important to note that these figures are subject to change, and tend to trend upwards due to inflation and other factors. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, you should visit Fordham University's official website or contact the Office of Residential Life.

Additionally, you can use the university's net price calculator to estimate your total cost of attendance, which includes your tuition, fees, room and board, and other miscellaneous expenses like books and transportation. This calculator will also provide you with an estimate of the financial aid you might receive, to give you a better understanding of how much attending Fordham University will cost you personally.

If you have any specific questions about cost of attendance at Fordham or aid or scholarships you might be eligible for, don't hesitate to reach out to Fordham's financial aid office directly. They're there to help, after all!
