Graduate students are responsible for securing their own housing in Rolla. There are several off-campus housing options within walking distance to the university. It is very important that you plan ahead to secure your housing and budget accordingly for your personal living expenses.

Keep in mind if you are renting an apartment, it often requires payment of a deposit, which is equal to the first month's rent. In addition to your monthly rent, you will also need to budget for utilities, such as electricity, water, and internet. 

A breakdown of the average* monthly living expenses:

• Shared apartment or house: $300-500 per person
• Single Occupancy apartment or house: $500-1000+
• Food and Personal expenses: $250-350
• Transportation: Taxi services are typically around $10 per trip in the city of Rolla

As you prepare to start your academic career at Missouri S&T, it is very important that you understand the estimated cost of attendance. Be sure you budget and have a plan on how you will cover your tuition, fees, and cost of living. When you arrive in Rolla, you will need access to a minimum of $3000 to cover your initial cost of living expenses (deposit and first month's rent, groceries, furniture, books, etc.). You also must have funds to cover your tuition, fees, and all other expenses throughout your entire academic career.

To accept your admission and any funding you may have received, you are required to make an enrollment deposit. You can make this payment by returning to your status page. The payment link is located on your checklist. The enrollment deposit is an advanced tuition deposit that will be credited to your first tuition bill and is non-refundable.

Payment of your enrollment deposit indicates that you are accepting the admission offer and that you wish for us to proceed with the next steps, including review of your documents for I-20/DS-2019 issuance, registration, and transportation accommodations.
