<p>Well, it’s official. Slightly less than 6 weeks after move-in, I can tell you with absolute certainty that $1000 is not enough for food for a semester. Forget that he’s a male, athlete-type (not much outlet for that, either!) who can’t cook. That $1000 sure isn’t going to go the distance!</p>
<p>And eating out in NYC, even at the cheap places, really runs up the $$$, to say nothing of dyspepsia! I sent a ‘care package’ with easy-to-assemble meals, that may help a bit, but word to the future: budget high. </p>
<p>And with the economy the way it is, that’s not a fun idea!</p>
