The cost of living in the U.S. has increased in the past few years. It is difficult to predict exact expenses for students whose habits and taste may differ. Some students spend freely for social life, while others are frugal. Costs may increase if you live off campus and pay utilities, buy food, etc.
Some students get by with less by sharing a small apartment off campus with other students.
Summer school attendance is optional. Regardless of whether you are in school, you must be concerned with expenses for room, board, personal expenses, etc. Also, if you reside in a dormitory during the fall or spring, you must be enrolled in summer school in order to continue living in the dormitory. Dormitory is permitted only when you are enrolled in classes on a full-time basis. Your account for tuition and fees, room, board and other expenses due the university must be paid in full for the entire semester at the time of enrollment.
