Three factors go into calculating your bill: your tuition and fees, your housing, and your meal plan. Your tuition will vary depending on whether you attend full-time (12 to 18 credits of classes per semester) or part-time, and whether or not you are a Pennsylvania resident. Your meal plan and housing will vary depending on the options you choose.
