[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, at some schools, off campus housing can really save money and at others, it increases the cost, so again, talk to your kid about what you are willing to pay.[/quote] This. One kid, who graduated this year, lived off campus for three years and expenses were what mostly what we expected. Other kid went to a school in a city where off-campus housing and other expenses (food, etc.) greatly exceeded on campus costs. Doable and also lucky our kid found something on the more reasonable end of the spectrum but again, luck. Our kids, including our high school senior always knew what we were able to pay for upfront. What surprised me most was how cheap books are compared to when I was in college but also how expensive it cost to get our kid ready to start school. Laptop, dorm stuff, etc. [/quote]
