书籍、课程资料、用品、 和 设备 are most often part of your family's share of the cost to attend Bowdoin, 和 many students use summer or on-campus earnings to pay for books. We estimate that students spend approximately $420 on books 和 供应 each semester, but you may spend more or less depending on your courses. Be sure to have a plan in place to pay 对于这些 expenses before you arrive to campus each semester. The 办公室 学生援助 is happy to help you develop a plan if you need assistance. 我们的 美元与意识出版物 也可能有用.
Most students will still be responsible for paying for indirect expenses, 比如书, 课程材料, 供应, 和设备, 住房, 餐, 或交通(视情况而定), 作为他们家庭贡献的一部分. Students whose financial aid exceeds the direct costs may request a refund of excess funds from the 财务主管的办公室 和 use those funds to defray indirect expenses.
