[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in 2010. My parents paid for tuition, housing, meal plan. They also helped out with a few "big" expenses like a suit for job interviews and my flights abroad for study abroad. But I was responsible for most other things: books, restaurants, clothes, travel, etc. I saved from summer jobs and also picked up small part-time jobs during the school year. In my family the feeling is that if my parents are covering the college costs, I'm on my own for the rest. And it makes sense, really - I feel really lucky to not have huge student loans; why would I expect my parents to give me an allowance on top of paying thousands to put me through college? It does everyone good to have some responsibility for their own budgeting.[/quote]
