<p>Guys I have a doubt:
I am an international and I need to submit financial certifications,etc..
At the estimated living costs it was stated that the annual expense is around U$16000 AND u$16500.
However at the Dining and Living page of UTexas it appears that the actual cost is around U$8500- U$10000:
Division</a> of Housing and Food Service - Prices
Am I getting crazy or do I misinterpreted the statement?
Thank you!!</p>
<p>The estimated living expenses also include books and supplies ($437 per semester), transportation ($600 per semester) and personal/misc expenses ($1212) which come out to approximatly $5000 per year. The Div. of Housing and Food service only states prices for room and board. The estimated living cost for international students is higher maybe due to the extra transportation expenses. All this is an estimate. One can absolutely manage to spend much less. OTOH one can spend more if joining frat/sorority.</p>
