how much cash for first semester?

<p>how much cash do vandy students go thru in a semester for entertainment expenses and the like? trying to decide how much i should save up before heading off..</p>

<p>i usually spent 300-500 per month</p>

<p>I can’t decide whether that’s impressive.</p>

<p>whoa thats a lot of money for one month.</p>

<p>You will get a variety of answers based on students’ personal spending preferences and their meal plan selections. Upperclassmen with fewer meals selected on meal plan have larger cash needs. Slipstream’s answer is not unreasonable if you have a limited meal plan and buy groceries/off campus meals and if you have an active social life. You can get by on less and if you are a clotheshorse, you may need much more!</p>

<p>ok. with frats, how much will those cost for dues and various events?</p>

<p>fraternities are about 2K a year, kind of expensive, for personal expenses, you could be ok with 200 a month, but it really could be less or more depending on you, if you only use meal plan you could easily cut that in half</p>

<p>excellent! thanks everyone i appreciate it.</p>

<p>now whos down to go case a bank with me? haha jk</p>
