Expense Budget
Below is a list of expenses based on a frugal nine month student budget. There is a wide variability in individual expenses. While you may consider these expense norms as a guideline to complete the projected budget, do not accept these norms as your projected expenses; attempt to compute realistic figures for your situation. Such projection will help you know what your particular financial situation will be. These figures were calculated by surveying local costs and utilizing student budget data. Tuition and books will be automatically included based on the number of credit hours you report.
