Additional Expenses
Spending Money

Students are required to have access to a checking/savings account to access spending money, as needed. This money may be needed for supplies, groceries, snacks, recreational activities, etc.  Budgeting and use of spending money will be part of our Residential Curriculum.
Cell Phones
We require that students have their own cell phones.  We ask that students share their phone number with the Residence staff as well as entering the dorm phone number into their phone.
College Meal Plans
Although not required, students may be interested in signing up for a limited meal card plan at their local college for lunch and snacks.
