<p>To current attendees:</p>
<p>What is the real cost of attending Binghampton? Other than the web-site posted tuition, fees, room and board, what are the real costs of the following for undergrads</p>
<p>books?
athletic tickets?
general spending money?
off campus dining (assuming you have an average meal plan for daily on-campus meals)?
weekend entertainment?
clubs?
any other hidden costs?</p>
<p>Heres some stats from the college board site: [For a NY resident]</p>
<p>In-state tuition and fees:$6,012<br>
Room and board: $9,188<br>
Books and supplies: $800<br>
Estimated personal expenses:<br>
Transportation expense: $260 </p>
<p>All these numbers if you live on campus. I'm sure you can add a bit for transportation, athletic tickets, and I don't know about food. I thought that was included in room and board but I guess I was wrong.
So I guess about $16260/ $17 easily</p>
<p>There is no "p" in Binghamton.
I'm sorry, but if you're that interested in a school, know how to spell it.</p>
<p>And I swear I'm not trying to be rude, but just make a valid point.</p>
<p>books? anywhere from 200-700, maybe even a thousand. depends on your classes.. I've managed to only spend about 300 a semester.
athletic tickets? free :) concerts are about 20-30 on average
general spending money? the only cash I dish out are for events (like an acapella show or superbowl party), going off-campus for dinner, and going out (average of 15 or so a night)
off campus dining (assuming you have an average meal plan for daily on-campus meals)? 10-15
weekend entertainment? going out ... 15 or so a night
clubs? I do bars haha. three for a cover, 8 open bar, 5 for frat parties
any other hidden costs? depends on what you do.</p>
<p>hope that helps</p>
<p>Perfectedxchaos, brooklynrats did spell it correctly in the title of the chat so I bet it was just a case of typing too quickly. </p>
<p>Sorry I can't help with costs its been a while since I lived in Endicott.</p>
<p>Play-Doh, that's a valid point.
I apologize to brooklynrats for coming off rude, when it was most likely a typo.</p>
