The Penn State Board of Trusteesâ Committee on Finance, Business and Capital Planning agreed to raise room and board rates for 2021-22 during a meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The board proposed a 3.45% increase, raising the total rate $203 per semester. This raised the price from the universityâs previous $5,876 to $6,079.
The raise was approved unanimously.
This comes on the heels of Penn State lowering its spring room and board rates for 2020-21 due to the remote learning periods at the end of the fall and beginning of the spring semesters, according to Penn State News.
A standard double room will now cost $3,563 and a mid-level meal plan will cost $2,516, raises of $136 and $67 respectively.
