Mizzou dorm costs?

Hey everyone! I'm planning on attending Mizzou next year and I'm currently exploring housing options. Can anybody share some insight into the dorm costs at Mizzou? Are there any budget-friendly options available on or off-campus?

Hello! Dorm costs at Mizzou vary depending on the type of room and residence hall you choose. On-campus housing offers different options, from traditional-style to apartment-style residence halls. Traditional-style rooms are typically the most budget-friendly, with costs ranging from around $6,000 to $8,000 per academic year. Suite and apartment-style rooms tend to be more expensive, costing up to $12,000 per academic year.

Off-campus housing can be an alternative if you are looking for more budget-friendly options. Costs can vary greatly depending on your preferences, but there are certainly apartments and houses for rent near campus at a lower price point than on-campus housing. However, keep in mind that off-campus living often requires you to manage utility bills, food, and transportation costs, which may not be included in the rent.

While considering your options, I recommend looking into Mizzou's Residence Life website for detailed pricing information on on-campus housing. Additionally, you can use websites like Apartment Finder and Zillow to explore off-campus options and compare prices.

Don't forget to consider the pros and cons of each housing option, such as proximity to campus, the convenience of meal plans, available resources, and the opportunity for a controlled social environment by living in a dorm versus living off-campus. Good luck on your housing search, and I hope you enjoy your time at Mizzou!
