Clarify 2017 costs on UF SFA website

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

The cost estimates listed on the UF SFA website are confusing. Specifically:

Food listed for “Undergrad on Campus” 2017-2018 is $4470, but meal plan cost for Spring 2017 is $1250. Assuming meal plan costs max $2700 for both terms, where does the remaining $1770+ come from?

Summer costs are listed as “Undergrad Summer 17 (A+B) On Campus”. Is that the total for attending both A AND B sessions (e.g. 12 weeks) or is it for a single A OR B session (6 weeks). The housing cost is estimated at $1630, but summer housing for most dorms is approximately $1100 for a single session (A OR B).

“The costs below reflect estimated expenses. Your costs may vary.”

The estimates are on the high end. in reality you’ll probably pay less

Meal plans are about $2K a semester, see the brochure:

I still didn’t get my estimated cost-of-attendance. My instate residency documents are still being processed or haven’t yet been processed :confused:

Unless I’m looking at the wrong website? I’m trying to find it on one.ufl, where some of my friends were able to find it. Is this the right place or did I misunderstand my friends?
