Are many universities/colleges increasing their cost of attendance by $3,000 each year?

<p>Lunch should be included in room and board estimates.
Transportation is typically included in cost of attendance (either on its own or part of “misc” expenses), but your costs may be significantly different from that listed by each college.
Textbooks are typically included in cost of attendance.
Gym is usually included or heavily subsidized by the school.
You probably need to look for better deals on cell phones and gyms anyway.</p>
