[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After tuition, housing, meal plan, fees... do you have a sense of how much your kid spends per semester? Mine kid got scholarships that cover the full tuition; I can afford the housing and other ancillary costs. But I don't know what to budget for spending money, or if I even should. I don't want them to work much, especially not freshman year. I think my folks gave me $1000 per semester, from which I was expected to buy books and pizza and the occasional train ticket to the city/ concert ticket etc; they figured there wouldn't be much left over for booze. :lol: [/quote] I don't track it, but I'd say less than $2000 a semester - I just give him a credit card and let him use it for incidentals and occasional take-out meals. I probably spoil him a little, but I don't want him to have my experience (dining hall card running out of $$ with a month of classes left, and scrambling for food with no money in my pocket).[/quote]
