[quote=Anonymous]It's less because neither of my kids spends any money on books. Many classes don't have books (teachers arrange their own materials that are provided online) and all text books are online for free, so even if you need one it's easily obtained. Also, my one kid's fraternity offers housing that is about 40% less than what we were paying in campus student housing, and dues are minimal. For one kid, the travel costs in COA are overstated because they have to average those costs across all the students, and like 10% are international. One kid is a short train ride away and tickets are like nothing if you plan in advance). [/quote]
