WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- For the sixth year in a row, Purdue University's Board of Trustees voted not to raise tuition.
Tuition rates will remain the same for the 2018-19 academic year as they have the five years past, and the university says students attending the West Lafayette campus will even pay a little less.
That's because room and board rates at the West Lafayette and the Fort Wayne campuses will actually go down this year.

Room and board at the Northwest-Hammond campus will remain the same as it did last year.
