Re: Cost a month
When I was a sophomore in college two years ago my parents would give me $200 a week on top of bills so $800 a month. This exact question was brought up at the same time in one of my larger undergrad classes by the prof. and the first person he asked said $800. I was about to yell out same untill the class broke out in laughter after him and most of the kids said that was way too much.

Re: Cost a month
Why the hell is all your university lives so cheap??
I go to a univeristy in London and we get a lot of American exchange students and they all moan how bloody expensive london is. To have a good time, going out say 3 times a week, maybe 1 meal will cost about $350- $450 a week. Im not even exaggerating! That doesn't even take into account my room rent which is $260 a week.

Re: Cost a month
If we are strictly talking expenses/personal stuff, and not including rent/utilities/tution etc...Then I spend roughly $600 per month.
$200 for weed $200 for food (delivery, eating out, grocery shopping) $125 on booze, aside from bottled water beer and liqour are the only other liquids I consume. $75 on misc. social things, like going to movies, going bowling, dates, etc. I have roomates and friends who get by with $150 a month. It's all your own personal discipline and if you are in control of your spending habits. For example, I have a few buddies who rarely go out to eat, never buy drinks at the bars (always just pre drink hard before hand), and always drink cheaper beer/liqour. However, since most of us at least have some finacial padding from poker, I think the ammounts we spend monthly are significantly higher then most other college kids. You can definatly get by and still live a very active and social lifestyle on under $300 per month @ school.

Re: Cost a month
not counting rent/utilies, which is about $550 a month;
smokes: $100 food: $150 drinking: $100 (I've cut back a lot recently,go out roughly once a week. misc: $50-$100 (usually a nice dinner or two, sometimes a new xbox game or something) probably less lately though, been trying to cut back a lot, mainly due to a combination of paying fines, paying off a credit card, and trying to launch a website. I haven't actually been out on the town in like 3 weeks.
