Other Expenses
A. Estimate for textbooks: $80.

B. Estimate for meals at University of Cassino cafeteria, $180 to be brought by student to Italy, (Based on 2 meals a day). Breakfast each day is already included in the cost of lodging. This is the minimum for food at school.

C. Money for other meals. During field trips we will not be able to eat lunch and sometimes dinner at the school cafeteria, (and sometimes students do not want to eat at the cafeteria even when they are able). Students will need money for at least 9 meals while we are on field trips. Meal costs are comparable to eating out in the US, estimate $80-$130. Students can save money by purchasing snacks, food and sandwiches at local grocery stores and markets for lunches or dinners in Italy and while traveling.

D. Money for souvenirs, postcards, stamps, phone calls.

E. Money for unexpected expenses. (could be band-aids, could be allergy medicine, could be money to replace a lost passport). No matter how many preparations and precautions we take, someone always gets sick (allergies, a cold), someone always loses something.

F. Money for other trips. Students may have a weekend or two free, (when we do not have trips planned). Some students decide to stay longer to visit other cities in Italy or Europe. Students may want to investigate current airfare on one of Europe's discount airlines or purchase a Eurail pass for the trains. Some students when traveling around town, choose to forgo the public transportation and pay for taxis.

G. Some students like to visit other sites and museums beyond the ones we will visit as a class. Many museums charge entrance fees.

If each student brings $750 with them to Italy they should be in good shape to cover expenses listed above in B through G. Some students will spend less and some will spend more.
