to essential equipment and text books.
In general studio based programs will have higher additional costs than non-studio based programs.
Costs for books, stationary and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $1000 a
year for these expenses. This figure excludes computing requirements.

considerable depending on the type of property and its location. Other essential costs are food,

rental bond and basic furniture, and allow for average weekly expenses of about $350.
