<p>Could anyone please tell me how much on average does an Intl Student spend per semester on personal stuff?
Is doable on a tight budget? lets say 80per month. I'll work at the school (10hrs per week about 80dlls per month) so Ill have around 80 dlls a month to spend and perhaps another 50 dlls from my parents. Would that be enough? 130 dlls per month is enough to live?</p>
<p>I will be living in the school dorms, so food is included (3times a day).</p>
<p>How much on average do you spend per month or semester??</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I usually need around $3,000 per school year (September through May). That breaks down as follows:</p>
<p>$1,000 go towards personal expenses (toothpaste, hair cuts, clothes, entertainment, snacks, etc). </p>
<p>$1,000 go towards anticipated bigger expenses: textbooks, my cell phone, 6 week’s worth of food while the dining halls are closed during breaks, winter break housing (a nominal $100 fee, but we have to pay for it nonetheless).</p>
<p>I also needed $1,000 each year for unexpected expenses: medical bills, a replacement computer, grad school application fees. I would strongly encourage you to find a source of emergency funding before you leave for college, because there’s a good chance that you’ll need it at some point.</p>
