Students at the University of Iowa will pay more for room and board starting this summer.

The Daily Iowan reports the State Board of Regents approved a proposed 4.2 percent rate increase on the most popular residence halls and meal plans for all regent universities beginning this summer and into the 2023-2024 academic year.

Price changes for housing for the full school year will go up 4 percent, with cost increases ranging from $212 to $490. Summer housing rates will go up by 1 percent.

With the three regular school year meal plans, both the unlimited and 220-meal plans will go up 5 percent, with the 75-meal plan getting a 4 percent increase.

The residence systems are self-supported and receive no funding from the state.
