<p>My cost is about 11k....that doesn't include rooming right? someone was trying to tell me it was, but that wouldn't make sense with tuition costing around 3-4k</p>

<p>and is that 11k per semester? or whole year?</p>

<p>It includes

  • Tuition<br>
  • what they guess you might spend on books<br>
  • what they guess you might spend on Room/Board<br>
  • what they guess you might spend on Transportation<br>
  • what they guess you might spend on Personal/Misc. </p>

<p>It is per semester. If you are frugal, you can keep your cost lower than this estimate.

<p>oh that’s weird…i heard dorms are at least 7k…(is that for the whole year?)</p>

<p>If you look at the linked page, it has dorms at around 4700 a semester. So 9000 a year.</p>

<p>The rough cost for a semester is about 10k, and the year 20k.</p>
