@twinsmama thank you! And I’d be so honored to. 
Anyways, thanks for the advice, everyone! I found this in my international students welcome letter:
I’m gonna minus 100 or so since I have a laundry plan and don’t need to buy detergent/pay for the machines, and not factoring in braces(Thanks for the heads up cameo43… somehow just can’t find the insurance plan under the medical portal but found a copy of the 2015-2016 one my school offers by googling, don’t think braces are covered but gonna have to call the school to confirm)
I’d say a rough 1100 per school year, so about 120 per month, and add 80 casual spending money per month, (based on the replies I got here) with a little extra for clothes and phone bills I’d say $250 a month sounds about right, IF I count school books, Amazon, phone bills and clothing purchases IN that amount, since I don’t think I want to have access to my parents’ credit card.
My parents wanted to add 50 dollars that’ll remain in the account and will be carried forward each month for absolute emergencies, in case they can’t transfer money at a moment’s notice. We also agreed that I should try out with that amount for a few months and we’ll adjust it accordingly if need be, whether it’s too much or too little, but I think this is more than enough to get by, with a little extra for the occasional Starbucks (omg we don’t get the pumpkin spice latte here so I can’t wait to try it!)
To any internationals reading in the same situation as me: I’ll update in a couple months (if I remember lol…) and let you know if it’s the right amount, so you can use this as a rough guide.
