Travel Expenses

Travel expenses to Rochester are not included in living expenses since the amount allotted will vary considerably by individual student. Please also note that the estimated budget provided does not factor in travel expenses related to the internship and job search, as that amount varies significantly by student.

Cost of Living

Your own living and personal expenses could be quite different from our estimated budget depending on your preferences, family size, and living arrangements.

If you receive similar information from other universities, you may notice that the estimated living expenses in Rochester are lower than those in many cities like Chicago, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles.
