<p>Ok I e-mailed a financial aid officer today and I was told that you aren’t billed for personal expenses, travel expenses OR books. They’re just there to help families plan how much they might need to set aside. It’s not a fee. The “fees” are for orientation, tuition, health insurance and room and board. And yes, meals are included in room and board. :D</p>
<p>So you have to put out your own $ for books, travel expenses and personal expenses.</p>
