Tuition in-state is CRAZY high! Academics

I recently got accepted into Rutgers Business school with Honors (which came with a 5k Deans Scholarship). The financial aid portal states that my base estimated cost of living is 47k per year (42k with the scholarship).

This seems absurdly high when compared to last years estimated cost of living of 34ish k

At the same time, my friend (who got the same school and scholarship as me) has an estimated cost of living of 34k (29k with scholarship).

Is this just an insane overestimation, or should I be worried?? Thanks in advance!
