My D is the first one goes to a US college, and I was wondering why colleges include travel costs and books in the cost of attendance. So, it means the family has to pay the full amount to the college and it will be withdrawn as they use for traveling and buying books? If just in case students not use them, will it be ramained on their account? I am just curious.
