I have a D in an "old row" house at bama and her roommate was in a new row house. I compared our dues to one another and though ours was a bit higher I later found out that ours was an "all inclusive" price, meaning it covered just about everything. The roommate still had to pay for a pin and other things. I would loosely budget $8,000-$10,000 a year for living out of the house.

Remember that this also covers your meal plan. The girls eat at the house M-F for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will automatically be taken off of the campus meal plan when you accept a bid.

As far as outside fees, the only thing my D has purchased is goofy stuff for theme mixers and one or two formal type dresses (one long and one short). If you have these already, they can be re-worn. The girls in her sorority even set up a facebook dress exchange and borrowed each others formals.

Good luck to you! It will be the best year of your life (so far)!

The All Access meal plan at Alabama is $1,578 per semester so $3,156 a year.

So you are saying sorority costs per year are between $5k and $7k?

Never mind. I just saw that it says "out" of house, not "in" house. That's a lot for living out.
