To save money, many students choose to use books from the library or buy books from students who have already taken the course.
The majority of colleges also have fees to help cover the cost of facilties, like the library, gym and computer labs.
There may be additional fees associated with participating in special activities, like Greek Life, or playing on an intramural sports team. Most colleges have resources for students who may struggle to participate because of cost can get help covering these costs.
The total cost of transportation in college can really vary. Will you drive, fly, or take public transportation to school? Will you need to pay to park on-campus? Is the campus small enough that you can easily walk from class-to-class?? Do you own a car, or will you need to use busses, subways, or other modes of transportation? All of these questions can drastically impact your estimated cost of transportation. At Stevens, freshman are not allowed to park on campus.
The location of a college or university can also have a big effect on your transportation budget. Small, rural schools may be easier to get around, but the cost of getting to campus may be higher. On the flip side, transportation in a city is sometimes pricey, but there may be more buses, trains or affordable flights to actually get to school. The Stevens Institute of Technology campus is in a urban setting in New Jersey, not far from New York City.
When creating a budget for college, be sure to take into account the cost of things like entertainment, clothes, furnishings and toiletries.
