Question for Parents of College Students

[rgG]

That figure seems high. I would estimate that my daughter spent less than $500 per semester on books, and usually quite a bit less. She often rented the book or I bought it used on half.com or Amazon. As far as supplies, I don't really know what they mean by that, but I don't remember any big expenses other than books and maybe a few other printed materials she had to buy. I would think you could get out for $500-$750 easily, and probably more like $350-$500, for basic core curriculum courses.
