College Housing Costs

Paying for College
1

<p>I know this is not particularly relevant to financial aid, but I couldn't find a better category to post this thread to. So here goes. </p>

<p>I'm going to UNM for the next few semesters or so, and I'll be residing in a double occupancy room on campus. In the rates and payments document (here: <a href="http://housing.unm.edu/zz-documents/rates-future-year.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://housing.unm.edu/zz-documents/rates-future-year.pdf&lt;/a&gt;), it says that the semester room billing is $2411. Is my assumption correct that that $2411 billing is <i>per individual</i>? That is, am I correct in assuming that the two occupants each pay about $2400 per semester? Or is that $2400 the <i>total</i> amount, and that total cost is paid by both roommates? I'll be calling the housing people if you all aren't sure. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, the $2411 is per individual per semester. You have to contract for a full academic year (2 semesters) so your total housing cost will be $4822.</p>

<p>This cost does not include your meal plan–which is required if you live in the traditional dorms.</p>

<p>(And I’m sure, D1 graduated from UNM and lived in Coronado Hall.)</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for the response!</p>
