<p>For those who are already attending BU, can you tell me what sort of fees they charge for the first and second semesters of freshman year? Because I know most schools charge you fees that they never tell you about and I’d like to know about them ahead of time so I can make sure I have enough money to pay for them.</p>
<p>no surprises come to mind for me.</p>
<p>you'll need money for..</p>
<ul>
<li>books</li>
<li>transportation (T, taxis, and perhaps an unexpected trip home)</li>
<li>fun/recreation (dining out, movies, theaters, concerts, museums, clubbing, parties, whatever you like to do..)</li>
<li>and maybe clothes (especially if you don't own any winter clothes and would like to buy them in boston when it gets cold)</li>
</ul>
<p>that's probably not what you're looking for, but yeah.. i don't think there were any surprise fees charged directly by BU.</p>
<p>The fees that show up on your statement include:</p>
<p>Undergrad student fee: $462
ResNet: $230 - can unsubscribe and info is at bu.edu/comp/saweb/resnet.html
Sports pass: $85.00
Medical Ins: $1,288. Go to bu.edu/comp/saweb and go to Medical to confirm or waive.</p>
<p>Other than that it's tuition, meals and and room.</p>
