<p>Gadad: The fees can change dramatically once your student is an upperclassmen. My son went online last night and paid $774 for the semester. A total of $694 was for $300 in dining dollars and $394 for a 50-meal plan. I do know of one student who is taking just the dining dollars and giving up his meal plan. As for books, my son looked at the price at the SupeStore, then he ordered elsewhere because he could save money.</p>
