Comprehensive Student Budget
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.
