<p>Here’s my off campus expenses.</p>
<p>1) Tuition per quarter: $1 billion dollars, or whatever UCLA tuition is now. But last year it was around $3,000 per quarter.</p>
<p>2) Rent per month - Living with 3 other people in a 2 bedroom apartment in Westwood: $768 per month, including rent ($550), parking spot ($50), internet and cable tv ($18), food ($120), electricity and gas ($30). Add anywhere from $30-90 for gas.</p>
<p>3) Textbooks - I’m a north campus major: Around $150-250 per quarter. I have spent less per quarter before, including once only $40. Of course, this varies with the classes you take.</p>
<p>4) Misc - including going out to movies, concerts, Disneyland, baseball games, UCLA football games, etc: I don’t know haha. In the past 2 weeks I have gone to Disneyland ($100 after ticket and food), and eaten out at restaurants/fast food joints several times ($45). So add another $145. This varies of course as I don’t always go to Disneyland…trust me it’s usually less than $145 every 2 weeks haha.</p>
<p>5) Furniture - includes dinner table, couch, bed, and desk: $729.
Note**: You can pay less as I got “nicer” desks and beds. A lot of my friends got free couches, beds, and desks. Although it tends to be crap quality, so you get what you pay for. Everything else I brought from home (i.e. TV, computer chair, carpets, etc.)</p>
<p>6) Toiletries and other related cleaning stuff: I actually have no idea, but I would say $50 a month.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>The only thing I’ve learned to save on is food. Shop wisely. I usually spend $30 a week on groceries.</p>
