<p>What is your child majoring in? </p>
<p>If majoring in Comp Sci or some kind of engineering, then the student gets an additional 2500 per year. </p>
<p>If majoring in something else…then your $4k estimate is probably right for freshmen year - since at least the Silver plan and Dining Dollars are req’d. (So, about $3k for food, 1k for books, and the rest for fees, MINUS the $1k from NM.</p>
<p>**
For later years, you can spend less on food since meal plans aren’t req’d. **</p>
