[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you, this has been really useful! My kid will be going to school in DC which is why I asked here. :) I went to college in a small city that was a 90 minute train ride from a big city, and my parents covered my travel home and all my school-related expenses except books. The idea was that they'd give me a lump sum and I was supposed to shop around for the best deals on books (a major expense 30 years ago) in order to have more leftover for discretionary spending. I had some very tattered textbooks! So it sounds like with housing, meals, and transportation covered (the fees include an unlimited wmata pass), and with books being mostly online now, $1000-1200 should land right in the middle of "I need to water down my shampoo" and "pizza's on me, everyone!"
