<p>you need to get more money. Books were a lot more than I thought. Engineering daughter was about $800 (but some books will be used for next semester too). Theater daughter doesn’t have many books (about $200) but also needed a yoga mat, pillow, some special props and things. </p>
<p>Also, tuition, room and board all increased for both of them with very little notice. The first time I saw how much D#2s costs had gone up was July 8 when her bill was posted, and it was due on Aug 11. No other notice at all. I found out that D#1’s went up in mid July and it is due next week. These weren’t little increases, but about $3000 each. They each also wanted to join clubs and participate in activities, and those cost more money. You can say that you won’t spend anything above tuition, but you will. You’ll need toothpaste and copies and a bottle of water occasionally. </p>
