Co-op Rates during the Academic Year

Because there is no landlord making a profit, the co-ops are the best deal in town. Budgets are collectively set by the members every spring and cost substantially less than private housing or residence halls.

Rates for the 17 Room and Board Houses

The cost for the 17 room and board houses for Fall 2010/Spring 2011 is $3,330, which is about $833 per month. (and if you take advantage of the free month between semesters, the monthly cost is more like $740 per month).  The cost is the same regardless of room size with the exception of Hillegass/Parker house which has larger single rooms which cost $3,906 for the semester.

The price includes much more than just a place to live, the cost includes:

  • food
  • utilities
  • furniture
  • a rich social environment
  • co-op wide workshops, social and educational events
  • additional amenities depending on each co-op

Additional amenities range from hot tubs, saunas, newspaper and periodical subscriptions, game rooms, exercise equipment, audio/visual equipment and much more. See the descriptions of our different co-ops for more information.

The Apartments

The apartments don’t come with food service, so they cost less than the houses. You should be aware that it is very unlikely to be assigned to an apartment for your first semester as a BSC member (although being assigned for summer housing is common). The apartments’ rent differs depending on how many bedrooms the apartment has, as well as the apartment complex.
