<p>It says cost of attendance if living with parents is $17,415.00, which includes books/supplies, transportation costs, personal expenses etc. Do we have to pay all of that or is that just an estimate of what a student may spend? What is the minimum amount a student must pay in order to attend UCSD? Is it just tuition or are there other mandatory expenses?</p>
<p>oh yeah i wanted to know about this one too. also do you pay all at the same time or do you break it down in payments?</p>
<p>adding on...i'd also like to know about the PLUS program..i was told not to do this..so where would i get the money from?</p>
<p>Refresh: it's an estimate. All that you would be REQUIRED to pay is the tuition, although additional costs incur from buying books, bussing to work or gas for your car, etc.</p>
<p>Aditami: you can pay all at the same time, break it up monthly or quarterly.</p>
<p>confused: are you talking about tritonplus? i find it useful for laundry in dorms since i just swipe instead of counting quarters. you can transfer money from your bank acct or get mommy and daddy to drop some money in it. it works like a debit card.</p>
<p>i think confused is talking about the PLUS loans. the ones that are unsubsadized.</p>
<p>does tritonplus have service/transaction fees?</p>
<p>thanks ucsdhopeful!</p>
<p>yea i'm talking about the unsubsidized loans</p>
