<p>Can someone tell me what the average expenses per year are for a student on the Presidential Scholarship? I love the honors dorms, but the undergraduate halls that run under $3000/semester are more up my financial alley, so to speak. What other costs will be incurred? I’d like as detailed a list as possible so I can plan. Thanks!</p>
<p>Somewhere I remember seeing a breakdown of “projected” costs to include meal plans and other cash items – I think it was on the UA site, maybe under projected undergrad students. Will try to find when I get a chance.</p>

[University</a> of Alabama Estimated Undergraduate Semester Budget](<a href=“http://cost.ua.edu/undergraduate-budget.html]University”>http://cost.ua.edu/undergraduate-budget.html)</p>
<p>The budget assumes the price of the super suites dorms and a particular meal plan that is not required for upperclassmen. So, cost can drop for the later years.</p>
<p>Perfect, thanks…I noticed the price of housing for one semester was over $4000…isn’t that the most expensive option?! I noticed on the housing site that some dorms were available for around $2500, right?</p>
<p>^ Yes, I believe some dorms are available for less (a. $2,500), and many students do prefer these dorms, because doubling up in a room is more social (for obvious reasons) than opting for a private room.</p>
<p>You sound like such a perfect student for UA Honors…I sooooo hope it all works out for you!</p>
<p>Yes…the COA lists the more expensive Super Suites as an option. That’s so those who want to take a loan for housing won’t be limited to a lower COA.</p>
