Housing Rates
For the 2023-2024 Academic Year, the tiers for on-campus housing will be as follows. (Please note that many buildings are part of multiple housing tiers, and that all rates are for the academic year.) Housing charges are placed in two separate charges - for undergraduates, a housing commitment fee of $750 and the balance of the housing cost. For graduate students, the commitment fee is $1,500 plus the balance of the housing cost. Costs below reflect the full academic year including the commitment fee charge.

FAQs
-
In response to student and community feedback, the University is continuing to expand housing options to give more students the opportunity to live on campus. The prices of housing options in the new tiered structure, which include utilities and amenities such as water, electricity, and cable, as well as other support generally unavailable in off-campus options, are competitive with the off-campus housing market. Also, on-campus housing agreements are for the academic year while off-campus leases are predominantly for 12 months.

As part of Tufts’ continued commitment to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all admitted and returning students, the cost of each housing tier will be factored in when determining students’ financial aid awards. Awards will be adjusted as necessary to meet the full demonstrated financial need of each admitted and returning student.
For more information about how the tiered housing system impacts financial aid, visit the Financial Aid website.
Please note that the cost of housing is only one small factor in determining financial aid awards each year. Changes in family income and assets, family size, and number in college are also key factors. Aid awards vary from year to year based on all of these factors.

Tufts has committed to supporting all students’ access to each tier of on-campus housing. Financial aid awards will be adjusted to support the full demonstrated financial need of each admitted and returning student, regardless of the type of housing they select. This means that all students who receive financial aid will be able to participate in the housing selection process knowing that their aid will match their need, regardless of the price of their preferred on-campus accommodation. While Tufts looked to peer institutions while developing the new pricing system, the University’s commitment to adjusting financial aid in this way sets us apart and is specifically designed to maintain our commitment to meaningful inclusion and access to Tufts experiences for students of all financial circumstances.
