Average expenses that the Office of Financial Aid uses to determine award packages also include allowances for books and supplies ($1,000), and personal/miscellaneous expenses such as transportation, clothing, entertainment, and recreation ($2,822). These costs are not billed by the University to students, but are out-of-pocket expenses that students may incur.
