Housing Options for C.E.S.L. Students

Residential Life at Tennessee Tech is a living/learning community that seeks to serve society by developing the leaders of tomorrow and extending opportunities to enhance individual identity.  

Housing Options

Housing Rates

Residential hall rooms at Tech range from $2,580 to $4,070 per semester for a double room. Students who live on campus are required to purchase a meal plan.  If a student has a special diet, we recommend they live off-campus so they can prepare their own meals. 

Typically, most international students prefer to live off campus, as apartments are reasonably priced in the area. Cookeville and the region around here has one of the lowest cost of living in the USA. In addition to apartments, international students can choose to live with a Home Stay family. 

Tennessee Tech's Dining Services has many meal plan options ranging from $544 - $2,477 per semester, offering from 7 meals per week to 21 meals per week and in between.
