Washington Program Cost
Washington is more expensive than Davis. While university tuition fees for the Washington Program are the same as for a quarter on campus, the cost of living in Washington is much higher. Actual costs vary depending on the individual; everyone has different spending habits.
The biggest cost Davis students face during their quarter in Washington is housing. Typically, housing costs are approximately $2500-$3000 for the quarter, very reasonable by Washington standards, especially considering the location and caliber of safety and security of the Washington Center.
