@shortnuke it was a triple room with a regular meal plan. Most rooms were doubles in the dorm, so I think that I did get some sort of discount for being squished in a dorm room. The next year, I rented a 4 bedroom apartment with 3 other people and paid $225 a month. I thought it was so expensive!
I am fortunate that I was able to put myself through college. Prices were low enough that it was possible.
