There are a lot of opt-outs that you can do and it'll save you about $200-$300. Just check Q-card for it in the finantial information.

Food was included in the housing cost. Travel was increased because we wanted to get out and see the country we were staying in as much as possible.

Do not shop at A&P, they rip you off. Live close to campus, it is worth the extra rent, you will save it by not taking cabs. Try to live east of campus as opposed to west, that way you are closer to Princess (downtown).

There are lots of discounts available through the university. Don't forget to collect the coupon-book made available to students in the beginning of the year! Rent cars from Ace: best cars and lowest rates!
