<p>i just got an email to check my FA for the year 2010-2011</p>
<p>and got an aid totaling to up 52,600(efc 0) with loans around 7500/year.</p>
<p>I believe this is a really generous aid and definitely made me want to attend Rochester even more now but I couldnt find the exact COA anywhere,</p>
<p>can anyone provide a link or comment on this?</p>
<p>it’s actually posted on the FAOnline main page (under aid info ro 2010-2011):

<p>can you also post what you got specifically? i am interested to see how they covered so much for you.</p>
<p>I have a question. Do we actually pay the school the “Estimated books, supplies and personal expenses” or are they just there for our convenience?</p>
<p>They’re estimated so they’re just there for our convenience. Personally, if I attend, I am renting the books for a semester.</p>
<p>Oh so in the case of Rochester, seenabro got more than what he owes the college.</p>
<p>@ sharath: how can we rent books for a semester?</p>
<p>well my college friends use [Chegg.com:</a> Cheap Textbook Rentals. Best way to Rent Books for College](<a href=“http://www.chegg.com/]Chegg.com:”>http://www.chegg.com/), it’s a site that rents books for a very cheap price.</p>
<p>This cost of attendance is the same as all the private schools I’ve seen.</p>
