Each college typically provides an estimate of the average cost of books,
supplies, and lab fees for its students.
Costs commonly run around $700 to $800 a year,
but may exceed $1,000.
You can save costs by buying used books or books online.
Computers have become a necessity for students.
Some schools or some majors, particularly technology and science,
require students to have a computer.
The computer may be a one-time only cost,
but software, upgrades, repairs, and insurance (particularly for laptops)
will add costs annually.
Many schools provide online access for students living on campus,
but off-campus students will need to pay for an online service.
