<p>Hi, I'm just curious about living expences there in University Park. 19,000/y, posted on Penn State website, seems so shocking to me.</p>
<p>So, is it really that expensive living there? Someone may give me the answer, average costs for a month, rent+meals+a little pocket money.</p>
<p>Thanks. And I am a excited new coming student.</p>
<p>You can live there cheaper than that. S pays $500 mo. living across street from campus in apt. with other guys. That’s expensive and that’s only $6000 a year. Even at $100 a week for food which is also high that’s $5200. So that’s $11,200 and you are living like a king.</p>
<p>S, Thanks so much. That really helps.</p>
<p>Room and board charge for University Park on campus housing is about 8,800 per year.</p>
