Tuition, room and board rates will remain stagnant for students on the West Lafayette and Fort Wayne Purdue campuses during the 2021-2022 academic year, the University announced Monday and earlier this month.
The announcement marks the 10th year in a row that tuition has stayed the same and the ninth that room and board rates have stayed the same or decreased on the West Lafayette campus, according to a Purdue News press release. Board rates have been reduced twice, which, along with Purdue s tuition freeze, makes attending the University now cheaper than it was in 2012.
Purdue Fort Wayne has not seen an average increase in its housing rate for five out of the last six years. Purdue Northwest will increase its housing rates by 2.5% for 2021-22. That campus has not had an average increase in its rates in four of the last six years.
