[quote=Anonymous]Depends a lot, I think, on your specific kid and where they are. My super frugal DD at a rural school spends barely anything. She thinks it is a waste of money to spend money on food off campus when she has a dining plan covering everything she could need. There's not a ton to do off campus but she does some thrift store shopping and orders art supplies from Amazon. Her books/supplies are all included in tuition. Less frugal DS at a big school in a lively town eats out a lot, goes to movies, bowling, golfing, football games, buys clothes, pays for books (those we reimburse from his 529 account). Both had money from summer jobs going into freshman year so we don't pay for any of those expenses. DS did run through his summer earnings during 1st year, a couple thousand maybe? That made him very motivated to work the next summer and then got an on campus job for 10 hrs a week the next year. [/quote]
