Costs

At BCL, your rent goes further than rent in a conventional housing lease. Rent here pays for your room, food, utilities, & other expenses that make sense to share (like laundry detergent & dish soap).

Rent ranges between $440 and $650, depending on the house & room. Factors that influence room price are size, noise (some are closer to common spaces), and whether it has a closet.

Breakdown of Monthly Rent:

• $235-$445 base rent of a room

• $105 food budget

• $65 utilities at Middle Earth // $75 utilities at Which House and Goodlawn

• $25 NASCO fee (for BCL's membership with the international co-op network North American Students of Cooperation)
