Whitman's comprehensive student budget includes tuition, student
government fees, standard room (assuming double occupancy), board and
an amount for books and incidental expenses.
The amount for books and incidental expenses is
determined by surveying students every couple of years. Many of
the expenses that students incur at other colleges and universities
such as charges for using the washers and dryers in the residence
halls, concerts, lectures, plays etc., are covered by the student
government fees and room charges.
A large percentage of Whitman's students receive some form of
financial aid, thus reducing the overall costs of a Whitman education.
