<p>It says minimum usual use for a student per quarter is like $800. I think that's too much so I put down $500. I still think it's too much. I'm planning on searching online for decent conditioned textbooks for as low as I can find. I'm dorming & I've got the meal plan going on so I don't think I might need the extra for on campus foodplaces. Doubt I'll be going out for food a whole ton either; it's not my style. Maybe I'll have to buy a couple textbooks on campus or something if I need it ASAP or can't find what I need online but... I don't know.</p>
<p>How much do people usually use on average per quarter? Bear bucks, that is. Think I put down too much? Just to be sure, unused bear bucks transfer over to the next quarter & the following year @ ucr right?</p>
<p>I really only used Bear Bucks for the laundry rooms in the dorms since that’s the only way to pay. I maybe used like $50 during the year. Since you already get Dining Dollars (used to eat in the HUB, Coffee Bean, C-Stores, etc.) with the meal plan you won’t need Bear Bucks to eat, unless you run out of meals or dining dollars. Bear Bucks do transfer to the next quarter/following years. I remember reading that you can get a check for any leftover Bear Bucks you have.</p>
