Room and Board
The room
and board allowance should permit a student comfortable, but modest,
housing and a balanced diet. Students are expected to share housing
with at least one other student and to develop other money-saving
techniques (such as eating in rather than dining in restaurants
and writing letters instead of making long-distance phone calls)
in order to live within this allowance.
Books & Supplies
The allowance
for books and supplies is sufficient for the purchase of all required
books and supplies.
Personal Expenses
The personal
allowance covers necessary living expenses other than room and
board, which are related to being a student. Among these may be
routine costs of transportation to and from campus, (including
parking fees), basic telephone service, and health insurance.
