**MC does not offer a meal plan, so all meals would fall under "personal expenses" and are not listed here. For your benefit, we figure that students should budget roughly $4,500 / semester for personal expenses (such as travel, meals, insurance, etc.) Furthermore, should students wish to remain on campus during the summer months, we suggest adding at least another $4,000 to your annual budget to account for housing, travel, meals, etc.
