PLEASE NOTE: This includes rent/mortgage, utilities, food, etc. This does not include costs for health insurance, children or child care.
It is not advisable to have outstanding payments for a car, credit cards, etc—as there will be no financial aid available for these payments.
Federal financial aid allows about $9,000 per academic year (about $1,000/mo) for costs associated with living (single person).

• You may also want to investigate and
thoroughly understand federal financial
aid, as most of your educational costs will
be paid using federal funds.

excellent resource for you.

I am happy to meet with any student who wants to come on campus. Please
contact me to arrange a visit. We prefer Fridays so that we can arrange an
optometry student-led tour as well. If you need to come on a different day,
we may be able to accommodate your request, however, no student
ambassador will be available.
Please feel free to bring your family or a friend with you. Please bring all your
questions! We want you to get them answered while you are here.
Also, I am delighted to set up a teleconference with any Pre-optometry group
who wants to meet electronically. On-site visits must be arrange with much
advanced notice (for budgetary purposes).
We offer a free workshop at least three times a year. Please check for content
to see if this would be useful to you and your family.
