Your tuition money probably won’t take care of such loose ends as lab fees for specific courses, late registration charges, drop-and-add fees, library fines, motor vehicle registration and parking fees, and various other course-related hits your budget will have to absorb. Individually, these fees may seem manageable $25 here, $10 therebut over the span of a year, they can add up fast.
Your best bet here may be the preemptive strike: Find out about the existence of such fees, particularly in lab classes, before you register or during the first week of school, so, if need be, you can drop the class and take it later, when you’ve budgeted for it. (The fee might be mentioned in the schedule of classes, or you could find out from your professor or the department.)
And then, there’s book money. Books are expensive, even though, in the grand scheme, they generally account for only a tiny fraction (probably less than 5 percent) of a student’s total college expenses. One state school, the University of South Carolina, estimates that students will spend about $495 a year on textbooks.
