The next table outlines expected costs at Upper Iowa University both for living on campus or off campus, meal plans and other charges.

For the past five years, UIU housing and dining costs have adjusted 3.6% on average each year, compared to a nationwide average change of 2.4%. If existing tendencies in room, board, and other expenses carry on, we predict incoming freshmen in 2022 to pay about $14,870 for their first year of college. Two-year students would spend around $15,306 in their final year, while those pursuing a bachelor's degree will probably shell out about $16,223 in their final year.
Total room and board costs over the course of four years would be approximately $62,157; for just two years it would be about $30,177.
