Calculating college expenses?

Question

I received my financial aid for college which included Tuition, Fees, and Room&Board. However, when you go onto the student information account on the site, it includes personal and transportation expenses. Do you have to add these in? Or is it just general so you have an idea on how much you'll be spending on other things. I cannot see myself spending that much money on either of those things. It was not in my financial aid package. Thanks!

Answer 1

You don't have to add any of that, they are just giving you an idea on if you use public transportation or car ect..it's just an estimation, you don't have to worry about that.

Answer 2

Its just general information and you don't have to pay the school that.
