Where does all the money go?

(According to what was just sent to me in the mail today from Parsons):

Undergraduate Degree Programs (AAS, BBA, BFA): $28,560/year
Parsons/Lang-BA/BFA Combined Degree Program: $26,540/year
Parsons School of Design Graduate Program: $29,290/year
Parsons School of Design - Photography: $916/credit
Parsons Per Credit: $974/credit
University Services Fee: $200/year
Health Insurance Fee: $1,358/year
Health Services Fee: $340/year
Divisional Fee: $80/year
Academic Supplies Fee: $145/box

Items not included:

Rent (if you live "on campus" - "on campus" being a relative term, considering that it is not really on any campus, it's just in random pockets of NYC): $7800 - $12,600/9 mos. depending on where you live and if you share the room; this includes electricity and amenities (sort of)
Rent (if you are Colleen and live in Queens): $8400/year -->
Electricity: 1/2 of $150/mo x 12 = $900/year (I'm not even going to doublecheck this figure, so if it's wrong... please someone tell me)
Food: At least $10/day + $50/week groceries = $120/week x 4 = $480/mo
Drinks: Well hell. Can we even adequately budget in the binge drinking? Jane Pauley would cry in her morning Wholesome O's if she only knew...
Clothing, shoes: I abstain from this as well. Let's estimate a modest amount, such as $500/mo. Maybe the same as the drinks.
School supplies! Good Christ -- a trip to the fabric store at least every month = $40/trip; art supplies running into $500 first time, about $50 upkeep...

This is too depressing. Now back to that binge drinking...
