<p>My "15 is in London. Landed yesterday. Anyone with experience care to share how much their student spent. Realize this is highly variable, just looking for ballparks.</p>

<p>We had to deposit cash in an account for her and told her we expect that to be her budget. Extra travel expenses or purchases need to be pre approved.</p>

<p>Room is paid for, we will cover books and medical expenses.
All other expenses should come out of the account opened for this purpose. </p>

<p>TIA</p>

<p>London is expensive. Looking back to 2011, a sandwich from Pret a Manger (spelling?) was $10 to $15. A decent dinner ran at least $25 – and I’m talking an unpretentious chain like Bella Italia (recommend them, actually). If she’s housed where she can do her own breakfast, maybe a PBJ sandwich for lunch, etc., you can trim costs. Plays, museums, etc., add up, but I would hope a lot of that is covered in whatever program she’s on.</p>
