The website COA is very generous, it would seem, but it doesn’t take long for things to add up. This is our breakdow this past year with 13 hours each semester. It includes a small stipend per month, A+ tutoring (pass for 2 classes each semester) and travel allowance home. Some things were elective, like the sports pass and we chose garage parking over surface lot parking. The meal plan is the default one they give freshmen. Only one is lower.
