Cost and Expenses

Room and Board

  • First-year students are required to live on campus at 51¹ÙÍø Tech and can expect to pay the on-campus residence hall expense.
  • First-year students who are over 21 years of age are permitted to live off campus.
  • Students past their first year are not guaranteed housing on campus and should plan their finances as though space will not be available.
  • Students who will be bringing family members are not permitted to live in the residence halls.
  • Students who will be living off campus are usually required to sign twelve-month apartment leases; hence, the off-campus living expense is calculated for a full year rather than an academic year.
  • Please note that in the U.S. after signing any housing contract (lease), the lease cannot be broken and terms cannot be changed for any reason.

Computer Requirement

All entering students are required to have a personal computer. Students offered admission will receive additional information regarding specifications and purchase options. Information is also available atÌýwww.compreq.vt.edu.
