Plan to arrive at UNR with some money of your own. You may need money for immediate expenses such as meals, housing, telephone deposits, and books. In calculating your academic year costs, remember, some items are fixed expenses that are predictable costs paid regularly each month or semester. On the other hand, flexible expenses may vary from month to month, giving you more control in deciding how to spend money in these categories.
Many expenses depend on individual lifestyles and can be adjusted.
For instance, if your total resources are greater than your total expenses, then you may wish to borrow less than the amount indicated on the Offer Letter. Allowances for room, board, books, transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses represent average expenses of UNR students. The budget may also include allowances for non-resident tuition, childcare, expenses related to a disability, or studies abroad programs. If you have these additional costs, contact the office for information. These should be reported before aid is offered.
