spending money would probably be around $150 a month...despite what some people say..you can easily get around that whole rumor of "nyc is too expensive."

NYC is expensive in many ways that don't really affect you as a student. You're in Columbia housing that is significantly below market real estate. And you're not going to be dining at $40/entree restaurants as a student anyway. Many Columbia students spend the majority of their time on campus and in morningside, which is hardly "NYC living." That you can live cheaply as a student at CU doesn't mean that NYC isn't expensive.
