<p>GADAD, I looked at our bill and picked out the basics for you that someone not doing Alabama Action or bringing a parent and staying an extra night for Bama Bound would pay.</p>
<p>Son is an engineering major, but like Seatide said, he is getting charged fees for courses from the different colleges he’s taking, ie, English, Calculus, which are Arts and Sciences, plus honors, CBH and AA for him, but I assume if you take any honors course, you would get an honors college fee.</p>
<p>Here’s the specifics for son:</p>
<p>A&S college fee 70
Engr college fee 40
A&S facil/tech fee 56
Engr facil/tech fee 44
Honors facil/tech fee 40
Orientation (no frills) 120
Meal plan (default 160) 1272
Dining dollars 300</p>
<p>The NMF package covers the tuition and the housing, so add these up, and that’s your bill. </p>
<p>Now, this also does not include textbooks, so you can go to the Supestore site and price that out now to get a figure.</p>
<p>I’m hoping I’m not missing anything, and please, anyone can correct me, but from looking at our statement, which is very nicely done as a debit and credit column, that looks like the “extra” charges.</p>
<p>I’ll be making phone calls today to see what exactly we have to pay now, so we don’t get any “surprises”. These figures do not include the NMF stipend, since my son is getting a corporate scholarship, so that amount may offset some of these billables.</p>
<p>According to my computer calculator, that’s $1942 a semester. Our Bama Bound bill was $269 because both parents attended and son stayed an extra night. And we also have the Alabama Action bill. But those have already been paid, so we won’t have to worry about paying those in the fall. Now, son is not taking chemistry, so he doesn’t have lab fees like I did in college,which I remember were a good sum, so you might want to figure in extra for that if you take a class with a lab, like biology, chemistry, or physics.</p>
