The estimated cost of attendance for 2009-10 is $50,620 and includes:

Tuition: $35,340
Room charge: $6,340
Board rate: $5,340
Estimated miscellaneous expenses: $3,600

The room charge and board rate are standard for University dormitories and meal plans.  Estimated miscellaneous expenses include the residential college fee, activities fees and class dues.  These items, totaling $835 of the $3600 estimated books and personal expenses, are billed by the University along with tuition, room and board.  Financial aid credits are deducted from the University bill of $47,855 for those who qualify, leaving the remainder due as a family payment on either a semester or monthly basis.

This estimate does not include the cost of travel, which may range between $100 and $2,500. Students who are not covered by a family health insurance policy must purchase Student Health Plan coverage for $1,270. University charges are likely to increase modestly for 2010-11.
