• Standard direct charges are tuition and mandatory fees; these will appear on your Brown billing statement.
• Standard indirect expenses include: housing, food, books, course materials, and supplies, transportation (if applicable) and miscellaneous personal expenses. Students may experience different levels of indirect expenses. 
• Students are allowed to add a computer purchase to their cost of attendance per request. This allowance will not exceed $2,500, which is our determination of "reasonable allowance for the purchase of a personal computer."

Not included in the Cost of Attendance are individual expenses that may be specific only to you. For example, you are required to have health insurance while attending Brown. If you do not waive the University's Student Health Insurance Fee, your Cost of Attendance will include this charge. Your specific housing/food costs may differ from the allowances established. Additional expenses you might have include winter clothing, licensure fees, childcare expenses, etc. Visit the Graduate School’s Financing & Support and Living & Resources pages for more information.
