Finances

Rental Deposit: $150 Monthly Rent: $150 - 500 [Check the Housing Info page to see why there is this difference in the rent]
Setting up expenses (pans/bed sheets etc): $100 - 200
Books: $100- 150
Medical Insurance : The medical insurance is around $224 per Semester. [During Spring and Fall Semesters] and $ 160 [for the summer Sem]. Student insurance fee is automatically assessed of all students, unless you can prove that you have your own insurance.
All of the above are rough estimates. The minimum expenditure would be somewhere between $600 - $1000. It would therefore make sense to bring atleast $1500 along with your fee to cover your groceries and other expenses.
After knowing about the initial setting up costs, you might be curious to know about how much your monthly expenditure could be and so on.... a sincere attempt is made to make an estimation of the expenditure in CHECK LIST
