What College Expense Surprised You the Most?

I’m happy with D’s school so far. They started discussing career planning the weekend before school started! They are offering workshops for the freshmen right off the bat.

I was pleasantly surprised that D’s art supplies cost only $120, and that the school is busing the art students down to New York City soon and dropping them off at the Met for the day - no cost to the kids. It’s not a “big name” school, but I sure like it a lot.
