| Purdue University |
Our compensation packages is one
of the best that I have heard about.We get room and board, tuition remission, plus a
monthly stipend.In
all, I think it totals somewhere around $8,000-$10,000 per
year.All I
really pay is about $700 per year for technology fees, plus
the cost of my books. I'm an in-state student, however.I'm not sure if it is different for out-of-state
students. We also get a 10% discount at two of the local
bookstores. It
doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're buying $400 worth
of books, it adds up.I
hope this helps you out:) |

on-campus apt intended for four people (each RA gets his/her
own bedroom and bathroom, and then shares a living room and
kitchen with another RA).RA compensation here comes in the form of financial
aid.This means
that if you have grants/scholarships, that money is
decreased in order to make room for the RA compensation.BC sees RA money as less money that they have to give
you from their financial resources.There are about 6500 on-campus students and 140 RAs.RAs in freshman areas have 12-60 residents (usually
