NOTE: These are enrollment-weighted averages. Weighted tuition and fees are derived by weighting<br />
the price charged by each institution in 2007-8 by the number of full-time undergraduates<br />
enrolled in 2006-7; room-and-board charges are weighted by the number of students residing on<br />
campus. Estimates of other budget items are based on reports of institutional financial-aid offices.<br />
* Average total expenses include room-and-board costs for commuter students, which are average<br />
estimated living expenses for students living off campus but not with parents.<br />
