Trustees approve 2003-2004 room and board rates

Penn State's Board of Trustees approved a modest increase to the University's room and board rates for the 2003-2004 academic year. The new rates are effective for the 2003 fall semester at all of Penn State's residential campuses. The increase reflects a continuing commitment by Penn State to improve safety systems and the quality of life for students in campus residences. It also addresses the annual inflation of food and utilities costs and maintenance expenses, which are expected to increase as much as 6.5 percent in the coming year.
