<p>My son was admitted to CU and I'm concerned about the living expenses. Can anyone tell me about their food expenditures at CU. Is there a cafeteria or are you guys on your own for food?</p>
<p>The kids are on their own for food. The dorms for freshmen are apartment units that have kitchens (stove tops and fridge and microwave, no oven).</p>
<p>The expense estimates in the catalog have been pretty accurate. (My D is a freshman now).</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Be aware that CU does not provide housing for students after their first year, so students typically find apartments in the area, which isn't exactly cheap. Then again, if you compare it to housing expenses at NYU, it isn't that bad.</p>
