Whether it is less expensive to live on or off campus depends on local rental markets. Colleges do not always accurately represent off-campus living costs, either; estimates make a number of assumptions regarding personal expenses, such as health insurance and food prices.</p> <p>Stanford University lists average local rent prices from 2018 on its student housing website. According to Stanford, one (1) year in a shared 2-bedroom apartment within the San Francisco-San Jose urban sprawl would cost each student between $19,200 and $22,770; inflation-adjusted to November 2024 dollars, this is equivalent to $24,034 and $28,503. Meanwhile, room and board on campus costs between $15,784 and $20,264 for the 2024-25 academic year.</p> <p>Across the bay in Oakland, The University of California-Berkeley, meanwhile, estimates that new students for 2024-25 pay up to 10.6% more living in an on-campus residence hall than they do living in a rented off-campus apartment. UC estimates students pay roughly $12,300 for apartment rental.</p> <p>According to a nonpartisan office of the California state legislature, the state-wide monthly rent for a 2-bedroom “typical property” was $2,748 in September 2024. In San Francisco, the average rent was $3,477; shared between two roommates, this is equivalent to $1,739 per month/ $20,868 per year.</p> <p>Such discrepancies can make budgeting difficult. Furthermore, other expenses that add to the cost of living vary from market to market. Groceries purchased in Iowa are much less expensive than groceries in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Students may be able to temporarily reduce their cost of living using financial aid. Using <a href="https://educationdata.org/how-to-use-student-loans-for-living-expenses">student loans for living expenses</a>, however, ultimately increases the student’s loan debt, including
