I just saw Chicago for $25, and I bought a ticket for Wicked in January for 30. Opera tickets at the Met are $20, for students of course. Having just finished my first semester in college in NYC, I spent close to $750, which seems ridiculous, because I haven’t spent $750 in the last five years of my life not to mention 4 months. However, it needs to be considered that a good portion of it was needed for last minute winter gear as I am from Georgia, and I am also way uptown, so I spent a good deal on the subway (I have yet to take a cab because they are too expensive). I would think that $500-700 per semester is plenty (assuming she already has winter gear). I am also getting a work-study job next semester to recupe some of my losses.
