<p>I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how Summer B works in detail. I am still confused as to the cost, if there is a limit of credits that one can take, and whether or not fall is overall better. For example, if you had a choice, which one would you take and why? Thanks!</p>

<p>Engineering freshmen are invited to Summer B to take a couple classes, interact with mentors, join a group project and generally learn their way around UF. For some kids, this gives them a chance to get there and get accustomed to the campus and to college life before the crush of a full load of classes and all the other students come rushing in.</p>

<p>We were told to expect to pay approximately $2,500, tuition, room and board for Summer B.</p>

<p>This would be $2500 in addition to tuition and room and board? So in other words, it's more expensive than a fall or spring session, and you also get less credits out of it? I'm out of state and im somewhat unfamiliar with how it works in uf, i'm from the northeast.</p>

<p>No, that was meant to say an estimated $2,500 for tuition, room and board for the Summer B session.</p>

<p>For any of you in states, does bright futures cover summer b?</p>

<p>If I recall correctly, Bright Futures does not cover any summer sessions</p>

<p>Bright futures doesnt cover summer A/B/C. Usually people either have scholarship money left over from fall or spring or they have to take out a loan, like I did last summer.</p>

<p>Summer A/B classes are generally general education classes that can be completed in 6 weeks (e.g. theater appreciation and pre-gen chem (chm1025) and summer C classes are the longer classes that need 12 weeks (e.g. calculus 1/2/3, general chem, organic,bio, etc.) Summer B is much more pack than summer A. The average person takes 6 credits during summer B, which is 2 classes. If you know you will study hard, then you can take 9 credits. </p>

<p>Cost:
6 credits (6*$103) = ~$618 (instate rate)
meal plan = ~$550
housing= ~$700
books = ~$100-150</p>

<p>so ~ $2100</p>
