<p>I'm seeing different numbers everywhere. Can anybody help clarify this?</p>
<p>48, but that includes an estimate on books and personal expenses etc</p>

<p>That’s for 2010-2011 though. Any info on the 2011-2012 year?</p>

<p>My D’s acceptance package says $47,800 for 2011-2012. That includes Room&Board and fees. It is still a good $10,000 less than any of the other private schools D looked at.</p>
<p>And then I have another paper that says 51 with tuition being close to 35k.</p>
<p>what paper is this?</p>
<p>^I got that paper too in my admissions packet that says Rice is 51K per year, with tuition (34,900), r&b (12,270), fees, o-week, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation included.</p>
<p>No it is definitely $48. Called the admissions office and they confirmed that the $48 includes EVERYTHING, O-week, books, personal expenses, r&b etc…</p>
<p>Looks like closer to $51K for 2011-12, according to the Rice web site (Cashier’s Office).</p>
<p>Here’s the link:</p>

<p>And here are the numbers:</p>
<p>Tuition $34,900
R&B $12,300
Fees $ 651
OWeek $ 505</p>
<p>TOTAL $48,356 </p>
<p>That’s the cost WITHOUT Books and Personal Expenses. Add those in, and it’s $51K.</p>
<p>Insurance is not included in the above either (if needed)</p>
