room and board

In 2006, the federal government once again expanded borrowing, allowing graduate and professional students to take out loans up to the total cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board and books.

The sticker price of tuition, room and board at some universities can now reach near $100,000.

And a lot of caregivers get free room and board while on duty, but sacrifice their own privacy and time with family.

And their overall economic impact, inclusive of other items such as room and board, is much higher.

“Inside Safe currently spends upwards of $7,000 a month to house a single individual. That’s just room and board and services,” she said.
