So I've been completing net price calculators for all the schools I've applied to and they all include an estimated cost for books & supplies and other expenses (personal, transportation, etc.) The cost seems pretty high for these expenses (one school estimated I'd spend $4,720 on books, supplies, and other expenses). I plan on renting most of my books, I'll be in state so I won't need much money for travel, and I'm a pretty frugal person so I won't spend anymore that $400 on dorm and personal supplies. Plus I have a ton of left over school supplies from past years that I can use. From your experience, were the estimated amount for books, supplies, and other expenses accurate? Did you end up spend more or less for these expenses?
