On This Day | Higher Education Inflation!

The Independent understands that each girl will be charged $4.50 per week for room and board, which is regarded as a very moderate price.

The Ward County Independent, December 4, 1913

Why We Chose It

Given a 16-week semester, the inflation-adjusted cost of room and board at Minot State in 1913 would have been about $2,133. Not bad! Today, the a current “Room & Board” plan is going to be closer to $4,100 per year, and Minot State continually ranks well among value-per-dollar. Compare a semester of room and board at the University of Minnesota for closer to $6,900 per semester.
