<p>Hi catndog, see a later thread on BS costs started by Watertester – there was a great deal of information on the types of items that students spend money on in addition to tuition: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-parents/667320-attention-current-bs-parents-where-how-do-you-spend-your-bs-student.html?highlight=watertester[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-parents/667320-attention-current-bs-parents-where-how-do-you-spend-your-bs-student.html?highlight=watertester</a>. I’d imagine that “extras” (meals out, books, laundry service, participating in pre-season training programs), is basically the same no matter where a student attends school. This also depends on the individual student. Weekends are spent on campus with movies and dances virtually every weekend at no additional cost to the student. I’ll send you a pm with a few more specifics. But for the most part, I would think costs between these schools would be on par.</p>
