Rates for the Cottages at Cajun Village can be found on the Rates page. Please note that residents of the Cottages at Cajun Village do not need to purchase a Meal Plan. Once you move in, you will be billed on a semester-by-semester basis for a contracted period of one year. If you cannot pay your total housing costs at the beginning of each semester, you can choose to enroll in a payment plan. The payment plan, which is managed by the Student Cashier's office, lets you make smaller payments throughout the semester instead of one large payment at the beginning of the semester.
