I get free housing and meal plan. Not really a fan of posting my school on here but without it housing would be $3-5k a semester and the max meal plan is $2750 a semester

Also not a fan of posting my school. It depends on where you live. Where I’m an RA it would normally be 2500 a semester and if you choose a meal plan it’s 1650. My benefits are free housing/free meal plan. 1400 stipend and $13.75 an hour for desk up to 22 hours of desk a week.

Not giving a name either but I’ll say it is a state college and I’m paying in-state tuition. We get a free room ($5,000 in value), $200 off our meal plan (meal plan is about $3,300 so that’s not a whole lot), and $800 in cash. These benefits are per-semester
