MARQUETTE, MI— The Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees set room and board rates on Friday for the 2023-24 school year.
The cost of a standard double room with the base required meal plan and comprehensive fee will be $5,946 per semester, an increase of $221. The full rate schedule will be available at www.nmu.edu/housing/rates.
