<p>I’ve never heard of a college student holding a $10/hr job on a college campus unless it was a specialized position.
The typical position like a office or research assistant will pay minimum wage…it varies but lets just go with the $8/hr figure. That’s $640 per month before taxes.</p>
<p>I think you should tell your parents that $300-400 per month should be more than fine. If you have a meal plan and live in the dorm, you will find it kind of difficult to even spend that unless you blow it all on alcohol every weekend.</p>
