Student housing rates will increase next academic year at Michigan State University. Residence hall room-and-board rates will increase 5.25 percent for the 2006-07 fiscal year, based on action taken Thursday by the university's board of trustees. The annual cost for a student to live in a dorm will be $6,044 for a double room with 15 meals per week. Michigan State officials project the university still will have the lowest room-and-board rates in the Big Ten and among public universities in the state, even with the rate increase.
