Housing varies depending on where the student decides to stay. If they want to live in the dorms on campus, the cost would go around $8000-10000 (including food and housing) for one year. Off campus is also around the same price but for off campus apartments, usually the apartments closer to campus tend to be more expensive than the ones further from campus. Shared apartments/apartments with roommates are also usually cheaper than single apartments and this applies for both- on and off campus.
