The village is a great walking neigborhood so I would not be suprised if she does end up doing a lot of walking (weather permitting)

She can use the campus transportation system, to take her to the west village, union square and even downtown (it’s free),
University Transportation;

if going to the theater is important to her, then she will have to wait it out and get discounted tickets from ticket central.
ScholasTix;

If she has a starbuck habit, that can be kind of pricey, but she will learn how to work things out (getting a CVS or Duane read discount card-with cash back for toiletries, etc) going to events where there is free food. I do think unless you want to live the next 4 years as a non-stop/no limit ATM give her a budget adn stick to your guns (they have a very different concept of money when no more is coming until next month).

I pay tuition room and board, D now pays for books (I paid for them part of last year) and all other incidentials with money she either saved or she earns by working on campus.
