Other expenses
Books
Expect to pay on average about $350-$400 a semester for textbooks and supplies if you are taking 15 semester hours. Books and supplies are available at the KCC bookstore or can be purchased online at www.kankakee.bkstr.com. Used books are available at a lower price so you may be able to reduce your textbook cost. Also, KCC does buy back books at the end of the semester.
Transportation
For financial aid budgeting purposes, estimated annual cost for student transportation is $1,260. Most KCC students drive their own cars to school. Additionally, the River Valley Metro Transit bus stops at KCC.
Room and Board
When you attend KCC, you will more than likely incur the same living expenses as when you attended high school. For financial aid purposes, it is estimated that room and board (housing and food) will cost about $3,150-$3,750.
KCC has an on campus food service that provides dining, catering, and vending services for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's a great variety of delicious food available to choose.
