Cost of Attendance

I noticed that TCOM has a tuition of approx. $6,000/year, but the cost of attendance is like $32k...On VCOM's website, they only give a tuition cost of $29k...Is it "proper" to guess that the fees and costs of books/supplies and other things on TCOM's website are relatively close to that of other schools that only list tuition costs. If anyone knows the actual est. cost of attendance for VCOM, would greatly appreciate it.

You are looking at total estimated costs including the cost of living at TCOM. That incudes housing, food, transportation, etc. When they work out your financial aid package, all of those are figured in, and that sounds like what you are seeing.

I think my totals for this year on books, tuition and class fees will only be somewherearound 12K fir the year. The rest depends on how you want to live and eat!!
