Other Costs
On-Campus Housing
Housing rates vary from $4,255-$7,580.
All students have the option of choosing a private bedroom (if available) for an additional cost. After their first year, students participate in a housing selection process that allows them to indicate preferences for a specific room, residence facility, or roommates. These choices may affect the final housing costs as reflected on your final bill.

Meal Plan Options
We prefer that first-year students take the 19-meal plan so as to ensure full access to the meals served in the Dining Commons. The College will allow students to select the 15-meal plan should they desire; although, it is our experience that this is not an optimal option for the first year. This cost estimate is provided in the table below. Each meal plan offers a combination of meal swipes and BeaconBuck$ to be used at our on-campus cafe.

Meal swipes may be used for an all-you-care-to-eat meal in the Dining Hall or a flexible boxed meal at the Navigator Café (breakfast & lunch). BeaconBuck$ allow students to get snacks, coffee, or an extra meal at the Navigator Café. After the start of the semester, meal plans are nonrefundable.

Indirect Costs
Direct costs for college include tuition and fees and room and board — basically, what shows up on your bill. However, these are not the only expenses a student incurs when attending college. Indirect costs are estimated out-of-pocket expenses that may arise as part of your attendance. Most commonly, these include things like transportation, books, supplies, and other personal expenses. Indirect costs vary for each individual and may depend on their travel distance, whether you live on campus, which meal plan you choose, and other lifestyle factors.
Indirect costs are not paid to Beacon College, but should be considered as part of your overall cost of attendance budget.
