What do one mean by Boarding & lodging? What kind of expenses are included in it.?

Answer 1

Boarding and lodging, also known as "room and board" usually means that your room and your meals are included in the price. In most situations that also means utilities - things like heat, water, electricity, etc., are also included. Sometimes there are also communal services (like a room with where lodgers can sit and watch TV) but not always. Usually, things like a phone in your room would not be included.
