	Costs and Financial Aid Here is what it costs for an undergraduate to study at Princeton in 2000-01: Comprehensive fee (tuition and other fees)         $25,430 Room 3,425 Board 3,781 Miscellaneous expenses (books, supplies, etc.) 2,684 Total $35,320 Students who receive financial aid help pay for their education by working in the summer and during the school year (contributing an average of $5,000 in 2000-01) and by taking out loans offered at favorable terms. Loans are reduced or eliminated for low-income students. Princeton provides grants to fill any gap between a student's expenses and the amount a student and his or her parents are able to pay. The amount of the parental contribution is determined with the help of a formula developed by the College Scholarship Service. Princeton, however, uses a method that reduces or eliminates the home value in determining aid.
