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, etcas 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.

  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.
