Before your I-20 is sent by the school, they will send you form where you will indicate whether you will be travelling with dependants to the US.

The estimated cost to cater for you and the dependant(s) will be communicated to you. That is the point to decide if you will need to take your family with you.

The cost is variable, depending on the cost of living in the area of the school in addition to the school expense.

Be truthful upfront, don't tell the school you are coming alone and go to the embassy and say you are travelling with your dependants, They will not issue Visa to your dependants in that scenario
