Below is what we consider

student at BMCC for an academic year (nine months). Students who
plan to stay in the U.S. during the summer (June/July/August) will
need additional funds.

BMCC does not have dormitories. Students with friends or relatives
in New York who will be providing them with free room and board
must submit an Affidavit
of Free Room and Board verifying sponsorship. Free
room and board has a cash value of $7,416.00.
Therefore, if you have a sponsor who is giving you free room and
board, your minimum budget for nine months should be:
TOTAL (with
free room and board) $13,160.00
Students
planning to bring a husband, wife, or child/children in an F-2 status,
must show an additional $5,000 per year to support the spouse, and
$3,000 per year for each child. You will need to adjust your minimum
budget upwards. |
