EAST LANSING, Mich. — In an early morning meeting Friday, the Michigan State University Board of Trustees voted on new room and board rates for incoming Spartans in the 2023-24 academic school year.
The Committee on Budget and Finance recommended an increased housing and dining rate for incoming students next year. The increase, which will be set at 6.95% for first-year students, was adopted Friday bringing the cost of living on campus for new students to $11,754.
For second-year students, a room and board rate of $10,990 was adopted for the 2023-24 academic year.
For the 2022-23 academic year, the increase was 2.94%, according to the Board of Trustees' website. The justification the board gave for the price increase is to combat inflation.
