DD is at UA with Presidential and Engineering Scholarships. The difference between the suite housing and traditional dorm is about $3K - they indicate the higher priced dorm situation. Also freshman year, students have unlimited dining pass - after that year, students choose smaller meal plan or live off campus and some (like DD who lives in apt a block off campus) takes no meal plan. All students have dining dollars in their costs, but if they do not use them (on their student action card) they can convert them to buying books and things, or get refund. Most schools have dining dollar type programs which get various food/coffee shop vendors on campus.
A smart student who enjoys eng classes will do fine at UA. 3.0 required GPA to keep scholarships.
Honors has priority registration. 3.3 required for honors designation.
