The above estimated expenses for incoming exchange students are based on projected costs for a semester during the 2023-2024 academic year and are subject to increases every year.
The estimated housing cost is based on the rate for on-campus housing. International students are placed in extended living residence halls (Rodes Harlin or Hilltopper Hall). Most recent rates can be found HERE. The cost of off-campus furnished apartments varies and could be more or less than the above estimate.
The $325 Meal Plan Dollars Flex Plan is only required if you do not purchase another larger meal plan, and it can be used at any on-campus dining service. Campus restaurants include vegan and vegetarian dining, allergen-friendly options, and low-calorie menus. More information can be found HERE. For most recent plan rates, please visit HERE. Exchange students are not required to purchase a meal plan (except the minimum $325 Meal Plan Dollars). It could be less expensive to buy groceries and cook for yourself, but transportation to shopping centers is limited.
