<p>How much does it cost to live at Jester each year?
Would it be better to live in a private dorm? Are they cheaper?</p>
<p>A public dorm in Jester (with community bath) is going to be about $6500 with dining dollars - the private dorms are a little bit more expensive, but include unlimited meals, whereas in public dorms I've heard of meal plans not lasting very long at all. At Castilian (the cheapest off campus dorm and most social with best location), it is $6800 for unlimited meals and you get a suite bath.</p>
