<p>For 2011-2012</p>
<p>$43,000 in tuition, student life, and Columbia Health Services
$6,500 - 8,200 for Room and Board (upperclassman) </p>
<p>You’re talking about ~$49,500 - $51,200 without including transportation, books, food, or entertainment. </p>
<p>$6,500 - $7,000 Food if you don’t cook
$3,500 - $4,000 for Food if you do cook
$2,000 for books if you buy from the bookstore
$1,000 for books if you buy cheap</p>
<p>Since there’s not much of a campus life, you’re probably looking at $25 a weekend if you go out fairly frequently to the cheap bars. Probably ~$50 a weekend if you actually take taxis or go anywhere off campus.</p>
<p>I’d say that the $59,000 is on the low end, and that’s if you take a bus home. If you’re not watching every penny, then you’ll most likely spend around $62,000 - $64,000 fairly easily.</p>
