Transportation costs are based on the average of five round trips per academic year from home to campus. With students living on both coasts, this cost can be skewed for students who may live within driving distance.
The amount listed for miscellaneous expenses are an average of what our students tell us they are spending during the academic year. This amount is essentially "pocket money" for incidental expenses and would vary based on the individual's spending.
