<p>This question might be a little misleading but i mean how much money would i need to bring/have in a bank account if I went to bs for stuff like going into town, maybe buying stuff i forgot to bring, just stuff like that. First off, would it vary a lot from school to school? I'm applying to Exeter and Andover. Second, say my parents sent up money each month, how much would you recommend them sending?</p>
<p>300 a month</p>
<p>Are you serious? 300 a month!!! Wow, if thats true than if I get in I’m going to be a pauper… You’d be asking your parents for more than 2k a year when they at least in my case are already sacrificing a lot to pay the freaking tution.</p>
<p>DEtrombone/BlueRaven1 - the amount will vary according to the individual but know that your weekdays will be so innundated with studies/athletics/clubs, there’s rarely an opportunity to spend any serious cash. An occasional take-out order with your dorm mates during the week may be all you’ll have time for. Most campus charges (bookstore, purchasing items for various club fundraising activities, etc.) will flow through your business account so your parents may want to have a discussion with you about using this account. Otherwise, most money will be spent on the weekends so think about your typical spending habits.</p>
<p>is ur business account something that u put money into or something that u can spend whatever and ur parents get a bill for it?</p>
<p>You can learn how to spend less money, like by buying cheap toiletries and by not spending extra money on food… I think most dining halls are free.</p>
