FEES AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FINANCIAL INFORMATION The question of expense while attending college is of importance to every student. Within the student body there are many diverse living styles and a wide range of financial resources. The students must determine their own budgets in keeping with their needs and financial conditions. It is possible to live simply and to participate moderately in the life of the college community on a modest budget. The best assistance the college authorities can offer students in planning their budgets is to furnish information on certain definite items of expense and acquaint them with others for which they will have to make provisions.
