Is the total cost of living the same thing as housing cost?

<p>I was looking at my financial aid and I saw that it stated $12, 810 for the basic living cost.</p>

<p>However, since I am choosing the Budget Saver meal plan, the Housing site (<a href=“http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/Halls/New/default.htm[/url]”>http://www.housing.ucdavis.edu/Halls/New/default.htm</a>) states that it will cost $11,022.93.</p>

<p>Does that mean that I will just pay the one with my meal plan? Or does the $12, 810 include another fee?</p>

<p>That would save me about $1800, so that would be great! lol</p>

<p>*Bump...anyone?</p>
