WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue University's board of trustees approved a 0.1 percent average cut in room rates on the West Lafayette campus for the 2015-16 school year and voted to keep board rates the same.

Trustees previously had voted to extending a tuition freeze at the West Lafayette campus for a third straight year.

The school said the price per academic year for room only will range from $2,446 for a room with two beds in Cary Quadrangle to $9,500 for a single-bed unit in First Street Towers.

Trustees also approved room rates at Purdue Calumet and Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. Rates for both four- and two-bedroom suites at Purdue Calumet will increase 2 percent. At IPFW, housing rates will increase 0.3 percent overall.
