<p>I'm aware that when one goes to MHT, one needs to pay
Tuition: $41,270
Room and Board: 12,140
Student Activities Fee: 186
+ health insurance.</p>
<p>What additional costs are there? Like..the dining services..about how much does the required meal plan cost? books? etc.</p>
<p>Also..does anyone know when's the deadline to pay non-refundable fee to confirm your place?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>P.S. International student here..so sorry if I'm ignorant.</p>
<p>The “board” part of “room and board” is food, meals. There is so much food, you will not starve, and could easily gain weight. Also, milk and cookies every academic night at 9PM in your dorm.</p>
<p>Cost of books depends upon what courses you take.</p>
<p>Thanks. ;D</p>
<p>Can you tell me the cost of books approximately?
Also…I heard there’s summer housing in MHC…how much does that cost do you know?</p>
<p>Do u have any idea how much the health insurance will cost for an intl’ student, and whether we need to pay for “accomodation during break” (ie spring breaks and some days off at the middle of each term?)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>The health insurance is 860. But it was included in my grant. I think this applies to all int’l students. I don’t think but am not 100% sure that we need to pay for accommodation during break. But dining services will be closed so we’ll have to cater for ourselves.</p>
<p>Yes there is summer housing. It costs ~400/month. You can find out more on MHC website.</p>
<p>Health Insurance costs $1510 for fall admits, and $860 for spring admits.</p>

<p>can students (especially internationals) work during summer months???</p>
<p>Some students do live on campus during the summer in order to work full-time jobs, such as library help, admissions tour guides, etc. Last summer, it was $300/month for a double, and I think $400/month for a single.</p>
<p>Big caveat----the PVTA shuttles do not run during the summer, so you need a car (or a friend with a car) to get groceries, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks, everybody!</p>
<p>Two more questions…1) When’s the deadline to accept/decline? 2) When’s the deadline to pay non-refundable fee and confirm your place?</p>
<p>Marie, if Im not mistaken the deadline is May 1st.</p>

<p>I hear that breakfast at mt. holyoke is free. when you wake up and go downstairs, it’s continental breakfast + delicious.</p>
<p>The only other cost is the cost of books which completely depends on your course load. I’ve spent $130 and spent $500. There are also people who don’t ever buy their books and simply get it from the library. Any other expenses are at your discretion (coffee, clothes, eating out, booze, etc). If you live far away, you’ll have to pay transportation costs to go home during breaks, during some breaks Mount Holyoke allows international students to stay, but most domestic students go home for breaks.</p>
