how expensive?

<p>in total, or annualy if thats easier how much would 4 years at cornell cost?</p>

<p>Without Financial Aid...</p>

<p>Tuition + Room/Board = ~43k per year
Meal Plan = ~1800 - ~2500 per semester</p>

<p>That's ~46.6k - ~48k right there, also add in personal expenses, a laptop for your first year, and you're probably looking at 200,000 over 4 years.</p>

<p>It's a big number, but if it's any consolation, ya really don't need the largest meal plan (or even the second largest in fact, I get the impression that most people get the cheaper meal plans). Heck, I probably burn off around 5000 calories during my workout days and I opted for the smallest meal plan.</p>

<p>The meal plan is included in what Cornell calculates as the Room/Board fee, I think. I'm pretty sure they calculate it with the 14 meal/week plan.</p>

<p>^ oh whoops, my mistake!</p>

<p>This year the estimate including tuition, room, board, books, and personal expenses was 46000, so about 185,000 for all four years</p>
