<p>My son is on the Federal Student Loan site going through the 'education' process (before signing the promissory notes) and the numbers that came up for tuition, housing, meals, etc. adds up to less than what we THOUGHT the COA was going to be.</p>

<p>It was all auto-populated, so I'm not sure why we thought the total was over $60K, but now it looks like $47K or thereabouts.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Total cost for Tulane is approx $61K. That includes tuition, fees, room and board.</p>

<p>Not sure what the $47K number is, but uskoolfish is right. Estimating books, travel, etc. along with known costs, the number will be about $61K. You would have to provide us with the breakdown on the site to see what is missing or in error.</p>
