<p>Fees depend on the type of class and the college that the courses are in. Classes with labs tend to have higher fees.</p>
<p>Total fees per semester can also be affected by how many credits a student takes each semester (more classes = more fees). Now that Bama has increased the number of credits a student can take to 20 per semester without paying more tuition, I imagine people’s “total fees” per semester will go up. </p>
<p>My kids (Math and ChemE majors) tend to take 17 - 18 credits a semester, and their fees run about $300 a semester. Many of their classes have labs. </p>
<p>“Board” (aka meal plan) is typically the highest freshmen year since there is a mandatory minimum plan for freshmen. The Silver plan is the minimum plan for freshman.
**
Bama Silver - $1272 per semester***
160 meals per semester; please note that this does not include the required $300 Dining Dollars.</p>
<p>Dining Dollars are used at “Retail Dining Venues” on campus…such as Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Chick Fil A, vending machines, Rec Center Smoothie Bar, etc. </p>
<p>Typically those who are upperclassmen (sophomores on up) choose the smaller plans that are available to them. The Silver Plan (minimum for Frosh) has a lot of meals - 160.</p>
<p>The Dining Halls that are “meal plan” are “all you can eat.”</p>
