Hey everybody, I'm a high school junior and I'm looking into applying to University of Central Florida (UCF). I want to make a budget to know how much money I need for college. Can anyone help me out with the most recent room and board rates at UCF? Any extra details about meal plans would be appreciated too. Thanks!
Hello! I can help you with that. At the University of Central Florida (UCF), room and board rates vary depending on the housing and meal plan option you choose. Generally, for the 2024-2025 academic year, on-campus housing costs are expected to range from about $2,700 to $4,300 per semester.
There are multiple housing options at UCF, including residence halls and apartment-style communities. The costs associated with these options will vary based on factors like shared or private bedrooms, bathrooms, and amenities.
Keep in mind that housing rates are subject to change for each new academic year, so it's a good idea to check the most up-to-date information on the UCF housing website as you finalize your budget.
As for meal plans, those are separate, and usually cost somewhere around $1,500 - $2,000 per semester. Again, these costs are also subject to change, so it's best to check UCF's dining website for the most updated information.
Make sure to take these costs into account when planning your college budget and remember that you might also have additional expenses such as textbooks, personal items, and transportation. At the same time, though, you may be eligible for financial aid or scholarships that could cover some of your living expenses. Don't hesitate to reach out to UCF's financial aid office with any specific questions you have about cost of attendance or aid you might be eligible for.
Good luck with your college search and application process!
