[quote=Anonymous]This has been posted many times and there are, not surprisingly, a huge range of practices. Not to mention strongly held views that what the poster does is the one and only right way and that what anyone else does is totally wrong and likely going to result in a kid who will end up playing video games in the basement for life, or starving in their dorm room. With that caveat...we give our DCs $1000/semester for allowance and we also pay for books, travel home, medical expenses and some clothing. We've contributed to spring break but not paid for all of it. DCs worked each summer and use summer earnings for expenses above that. We pay full tuition, room/rent, and food/board. One of our DCs has lived off campus for 2 years so we provide a separate food allowance (which is a little less than the campus meal plan). It's worked well for our kids. YMMV. [/quote]
