sashimi, you’re getting by pretty well with regards to the material expendature… I spent that for my first semester, seven or eight years ago! First semester there will be a big outlay because you have to stock your toolbox with the basics, and these days get a computer (yeah, back sooo long ago when I was in school we weren’t allowed to use them for first year). Fifth year is also a big kicker… I remember just the plots for my thesis presentation costing $600. I had to call and get my ‘graduation present’ early from the parents because that left me flat broke.

$22k is manageable if you’re not planning to do grad school. It’ll be a little harder if you are. But on the optimistic side, if Notre Dame is anything like SC (yeah, I know, they try to be nothing alike, but still), it’s a lot easier to get scholarships after you’re in school for a couple of years, so you may get a couple grand a year later on that helps you out with that sort of thing.
