When you need help figuring out what costs there are beyond tuition, the best sources are students who already live on and off-campus or check if your school has a student money management office. They can tell you about the living expenses for that particular school.

Knowing these expenses will help you figure out if what you budgeted is enough or whether you’ll need to make adjustments or consider additional funding. It will also be a good time to set spending limits, so your student doesn’t misuse a credit card as a last resort.

Here are 11 other expenses you’ll need to consider when your student is choosing a college.


Are you a parent who thinks your costs for college are spiraling out of control and away from your allotted budget? Budget? What budget, you may wonder, as your bank account bleeds more and more money for all-things college.

College costs can develop into a nightmare that gives you insomnia, and you’re not alone. But there are ways to control costs if you think strategically by making a plan with your student starting with the college admissions process and through to graduation.


Few things give a parent more pleasure than celebrating a milestone in their child’s life, and quite often, that pleasure is shared by other relatives and even friends.

Graduating from high school is one of those milestones, and if you know a child who’s a senior and you’re considering celebrating them with a high school graduation gift that expresses “good job,” “good luck,” or “we’re proud of you,” you can feel confident knowing that it will always be appreciated. After all, who doesn’t love getting gifts?

Whether a student is heading off to college, trade school, the military, or elsewhere in life, there are many gift options you can choose from.
