For students approved, off-campus housing and food was calculated ($10,350) using the average cost of local and state housing costs The food cost uses the cost of the continuous meal plan. For students living at home, we utilize $3,000 for the year as the allowance for the cost of 3 meals per day, 7 days per week, during the academic year.
