대학신입생 기숙용품 및 비용

미국유학을 염두에 두고 있거나 현재 미국유학을 위해 출발선상에 있는 분들에게 유용한 실질적 기숙사 살림장만 비용에 대한 정보를 정리해 본다.

 

미국 칼리지보드에서 권장하고 있는 기숙사용품은 100여가지가 넘는다. 이중 꼭 필요한 것은 유학생 각자의 상황이나 처지에 따라 달라질 수 있겠스나, 대개의 경우를 기준으로 말하자면 2009년 현재시세로 4000불이상의 미국달러 (US$4,000)가 소요되는 것으로 추산되고 있다. 이에 대한 Off-to-College Checklist를 몇 가지 캐리고리 (Categories)로 나누어 소개한다.
