<p>The COA includes the cost of the pricey private room “super suites”, therefore anyone who needs to be thrifty can choose the “standard doubles” and save about $3-4k per year. </p>
<p>This student can make Bama work if she works/saves over the summer, buys textbooks economically (online, used, rents), and takes out a student loan. she may also want to work about 8 hours a week during the school year for extra pocket money…my kids did that.</p>
