<p>personal expenditures are personal expenditures - they can estimate what they think you will spend, but they can’t say for sure.
same with textbooks and supplies - those are included in the earlier posting, but you don’t pay those directly to brandeis - the amount depends on what you end up buying based on your courses and where you buy your books (new or used) and what supplies you decide you need.
the website also doesn’t include a computer if you CHOOSE to buy one.</p>
<p>you have to stop and think about the difference between what brandeis will bill you for and what the total cost will be including what you will have to spend out of pocket for things like books. computer, personal expenditures.</p>
<p>compare the previous post line for line with what is listed at the website and you will see these differences.</p>
