Room & Board Costs

It is the goal of University Housing & Dining Services to keep all costs as low as possible while providing a quality learning environment for our students. We are the only housing program in the State of Illinois to participate in the cost guarantee program – the price you pay as a first year student will be the price you pay during your 4 years at WIU.

To calculate all University Costs (including tuition and fees) please proceed to our Cost Estimator. Below are tables for the most current school year rates for housing and dining.
