DON’T FORGET TO BUDGET FOR THESE HIDDEN COLLEGE EXPENSES

When your student starts exploring colleges, checking out the cost of signing up for classes, getting a dorm room, and picking up a meal plan is typically part of their process. 

If your student wants to make sure that they’re ready for all of the college student expenses they might encounter, here’s what they need to know.

1. COURSE MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

While most students know that they’ll need to purchase books for their classes, those might not be the only course materials and supplies they’ll have to buy.

2. PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION

While students can usually get around for free while they’re on campus, most students will encounter some kind of transportation-related expense.

3. GREEK LIFE

If your student is thinking about joining a fraternity or sorority, it’s important to recognize that Greek Life in college comes with some extra costs. 

4. ABOVE AVERAGE COURSE LOADS

If students don’t read the fine print, they may underestimate what they’ll need to cover each semester if they have an above-average.
