Student Budgets Prospective Students > Financial Aid & Services > Student BudgetsThe following standard expenses are included in student's budget (dependent on program, year in school, and housing status). Budgets have been increased in order to provide ample funds for all students without the need to make adjustments. Many students will be able to manage on considerably less than the budget indicates and we strongly encourage students to do so. Due to the limited amount of institutional funds received each year, these funds will be applied to a portion of the basic budget. Any expenses not funded with institutional funds must be funded with federal or private loans. During the 2012-2013 academic year, the amount allotted in the budget for room and utilities will be calculated on the basis of a one-bedroom apartment. Student budgets have not been finalized for the 2012-2013 academic year.
