How much allowance should my parents give me for BS?

@JHblue No. The cost of books, any extra clothes, additional dorm decorations would be over and above, which is why other users have suggested Amazon Prime.

There is another discussion on this topic [url=http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-parents/1896533-getting-braces-in-a-boarding-school.html#latest]here[/url]. Bottom line, most students visit their orthodontists at home for adjustments, and only use the local orthodontist for emergencies.
