• $5,100.00 per semester for double as a single, as available (+ meal plan, encouraged)

Meal plans are available, but optional.

• The "Flex 30 Plan," which includes 30 meal swipes and $330 in Bronc Bucks per semester. Cost = $675.00
• Carte Blanche Plus with $275.00 in Bronc Bucks. Cost = $3,150 (unlimited meal swipes at Daly's Dining Hall)
• 14 Meal Plan with $375.00 in Bronc Bucks. Cost = $3,150 (14 Meals per week at Daly's Dining Hall)
• Bronc Bucks included with the meal plan carry over from the Fall to the Spring semester and then expire at the end of the academic year. Any remaining meals or Bronc Bucks not used prior to the end of the Spring semester will be forfeited.

_{*If a student does not elect a meal plan, the MCCC student may use a credit card or Personal Bronc Bucks in conjunction with the GrubHub app to order food on campus. The student will be required to pay the door rate + tax.}

Access to campus resources

Your Rider ID will give you access to the campus library, health center (billable to insurance), food venues, campus events, free parking, and the Schimek Family Fitness Center.

Future reduced tuition and housing rates

If you decide to continue your bachelor’s degree at Rider after earning your associate degree at Mercer, Rider will continue the discounted room and board rate for two additional years.

Reduce the stress of maintaining an apartment.

Campus living at Rider eliminates the demands and responsibilities of renting an apartment. You won’t need to shop, cook your meals every day, or worry about paying your monthly bills for electricity, gas and rent.

Gain access to the resources of a comprehensive university.

As a campus resident, you can take full advantage of Rider’s library, study areas, and dining halls. Be a part of Rider's on-campus events — from concerts, musicals and plays to art shows and guest lectures by leading business executives, artists, authors, politicians and educators.

The withdrawal policy applies to housing only. Meal fees are non-refundable.
