Budget Notes

  • Tuition can be expected to increase approximately 5% each year, while living expense budgets rise approximately 3% each year
  • The student budget is based on university-approved allowances for Darden tuition/fees, books and living expenses for the academic year
  • The Books and Supplies category above includes cases and textbooks
  • The budget does not include allowances for car payments, insurance premiums, undergraduate loan debts or consumer or other personal debt
  • For international students using these figures for your budget: the Financial Guarantee Form, which is part of the I-20, will require allotting an additional $7,000 for a spouse and $4,000 for each additional dependent in your budgeting process; you cannot include family members in your budget when applying for a private loan and can only borrow up to $65,000per year using Darden's International Loan.
