At UCLA it's anywhere from $8,000 to share a box with 3 people with an 11 meal/week program..to $12,000 a year for the most expensive meal plan living in a suite with 2 people.

The cheapest dorms at Clemson are just over $1000/semester, with no meal plan included. A meal plan can run anywhere from about $400 to $1000 for the semester. The most expensive dorms are about $1800/semester, I think, and again, no meal plan.

Meal plan + single room for the whole year is about $3500 US for me, but I'm in Canada where the cost of secondary education is not so outrageous!

I pay 1536 a semester (4.5 months) and I get a $400 meal plan each semester. Oh and my room is a single that was just redone so it is really nice. The most expensive on campus are about 2400 a semester and the average meal plan in $1070.

wtf?

A fats net connction is not whawt you want to be thinking of in college. You want to make friends and experienece new t hings. Not d/l porn off the net! There will be ENOUGH girls at college and the people are more mature and more accepting of people. Especially know since you are dressing well :D

Get in dorms and make friends!

£2700 isn't going to get you much in London........Rates are £100 for 3 people sharing a place a week. Nothing included. So some off my friends are paying £4000+ ($6000) a year to live in apartments, houses, studio flats. I got halls so it was much cheaper.

Dorm life is great. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. There are always things going on.
