Syracuse - 43318
Tenn In-State - 12436 or Tenn Out of State - 30856

[B][U]Books and Supplies[/U][/B]

[B][U]Room and Board

Syracuse - 14880
Tennessee - 9926

[B][U]Personal[/U][/B]

Syracuse - 990
Tennessee - 4002

[B][U]Transportation
[/U][/B]
Syracuse - 642
Tennessee - 1664

[B][U]Total COA
[/U][/B]
Syracuse - 61242
Tennessee In State - 29626
Tennessee Out of State - 48046

To avoid complete sticker shock, Syracuse likely has to keep as low as possible the items that they can (Personal and Transportation) since parents tend to look look at the Total Cost more so than simply the hard costs of the first three items alone.

The interesting bit of information I would like to know is has the University of Tennessee's Personal and Transportation costs always been this high over the past three years or so, or do the above figures represent a huge increase over previous years.

Because the whole purpose for showing Total COA is tied to Higher Ed Law in terms of financial aid.  And every year an institution hires independent auditors to come in and part of their review is looking at COA.  And any increase that cannot be explained through ordinary inflation should result in them asking for the documentation used to determine each cost listed.
