WUSTL COA Forum

Does anybody know where I can find a breakdown of expected COA at Wash U? Every other school I am considering has a pretty detailed breakdown (tuition, fees, living, groceries, etc.), but I can't find one from WUSTL. The reason I ask is because I am sure they overestimate certain numbers and I want to only accept as much loan money as is needed. Thanks!

I just found that on their website too. I could have sworn it wasn't on there before, but it is now. Thanks.

PS. What would personal/misc. include? Like drinking, groceries, entertainment, etc.? Seems like a high estimate if someone is planning to save money during the summer for the school year. Just trying to figure out ways to accept less loan money than needed!
