The categories that are most often included are tuition and fees, room and board, and books and supplies. Some calculations also include an &#8220;other expenses&#8221; category. However, our calculations do not include this category, as the primary categories\u00a0are central to the academic mission of higher education. Institutions also provide grants and scholarships that serve to offset the cost of attendance and will be included in our calculations. Costs are reported by each institution as the amount that a first-time-in-college student who is paying in-state tuition and living in on-campus housing will pay for 30 student credit hours spanning a full academic year.<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>National Averages<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 2.5em;
