CSS profile--household necessities

<p>I’m an international student filling my CSS profile and met a few problems.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What is “household necessities”? Is it other expenses excluding those listed on other CSS questions? Does this include the costs of electronic appliances, management fee for our community (管理費 if you understand Chinese), and other house maintenance fees?</p></li>
<li><p>In our country we have mandatory National Health Insurances. Do I list the premiums in the item where I report “all taxes, mandatory withholdings and set-asides”(help code PI-140I)?</p></li>
<li><p>To be able to receive more financial aid, should I estimate high or low? How will the financial offices at universities determine my need?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you! :)</p>
