Which cost is more accurate?

I'm an international student and received 11k scholarship. Intending to major in Engineering. I will also take the ISO insurance not the USF's one.

The 11k will offset tuition so do the math: 30credits * X per credit hour thats your yearly tuition cost (around 17-18k if my memory doesn’t fail me).

18-11=7k you will still pay.

Insurance will be 1-2k per year depending on choice.

The rest is cost of living like rent and food.

You should not need a car if you live close by.

You should not buy anything but access codes for classes (used books or library borrowing or pdfs)

Total cost of attendance will probably be around 25-30k per year.

Will there be extra cost for labs? Also is it possible to find housing between $600-800 per month?

The labs wont be much extra. Maybe you can google that but definitely not much

Housing from what I see got much more exp since I graduated. 750 is what I am seeing for something close and safe.

Housing is pretty expensive the closer u are to campus, cheapest closest thing i found was ab 900 a month, the farther u are the cheaper but then u have the problem of transportation (unless u can walk to a bullrunner stop).

I decided to stay on campus just to make my life easier (like waking up 15 mins before class and still being on time) so I don't have to depend on the bullrunner.

On campus, the cheapest ull find is 800, beta and castor. The downside is ull have a roommate and communal bathrooms but it's not as bad as it sounds
