<p>I called into the office of admissions (probably the wrong place, but that’s where the # on the page is to) and the woman i spoke with said that CMU does nothing of this sort. She said while CMU will sometimes pay for baggers to come out, current students are on their own. I just find her words hard to believe when the website explicity says that there is an allowance. I also live in Arizona, so any help getting out there (or back!) would be great :D.</p>

<p>Do any current or incoming students/parents of students know if there is indeed a travel allowance? Thanks =)</p>

<p>That page is an estimate of the costs it will be to attend CMU. For example, they estimate the book cost, but they dont buy your books for you.</p>

<p>Basically, its saying that YOU (your family/you/if youre taking out loans/whatever) should expect to spend that amount for you to travel home, based on average times that students visit home.</p>

<p>that makes sense. thanks for clarifying</p>
