If you attend for the next year as well, then the costs should be about the same. Often there is up to 3% increase per year.
So the fixed costs are up through the recreation fee. Then you have books and supplies estimate, which depends on the classes and professors. You won’t have a loan so no loan fee. The room & board is hopefully based on university housing costs, you will have to inquire to see. Sometimes students live off campus so your cost could be less if you find a better arrangement, or more depending on what is available and what you choose. The transportation is only a guess, you may not use that much locally, seems high. You will have to add international travel expense. Personal is just an estimate of what a typical student may want to spend.
I don’t know why they repeat the cost estimate on monthly living expenses. This is not in addition. Already those costs are in the main list and add up to about 18k, which is 2k per month for nine months.
So, without any aid or stipend or earnings from some university job, the estimate without loan fee is 70k per year. Ouch. Actual can vary a little depending on what you actually spend for living expenses.
