For Part D, item 12, "Room charge (Double occupancy)" 2006-07: The figure for 2006-07 is lower because prior years report the higher, split-double occupancy fee. The typical room selected by an undergrad is a regular double and the 2006-07 fee reflects this. For Part D, item 13, "other expenses" 2006-07: the loan fee is not included since many students don't take out loans. It's not an institutional fee, it's a lender fee-- but the University collects it.
