[quote=Anonymous]This really depends on the kid and what you can afford. I have kids in college in three different places (incl Boston) and I think $1500 is reasonable for Boston, though they would still need to budget that somewhat carefully, mainly by taking the T instead of uber (which is one of the great advantages of Boston), learning how to take advantage of free/low cost things to do in Boston, not eating out often or learning how to eat out inexpensively, etc. All these things are good lessons to learn! First semester in Boston, some kids may go out more. Others may find themselves tire of dining hall food in later semesters and spend more then. Be prepared to add more if it runs out. It's not that easy to predict at the outset and there is no one-size-fits-all answer.[/quote]
