** Room and board estimate is based on a double occupancy dormitory room and an average meal plan.
*** Medical insurance fee is mandatory, unless proof of existing medical coverage valid in the United States is submitted.
**** If you will be sponsoring yourself you must show sufficient funds to cover your entire program. Program lengths vary; we inform you of your specific cost estimate.
  If you are planning to include your spouse and/or children on your I-20 form, you will have to show additional funds to cover the cost of living expenses, room and board, and costs of medical insurance (which C.W. Post strongly recommends for all dependents of F-1 visa holders). You must show $6,500 for a spouse and $3,500 for each dependent child.
