Pre-NYU estimations are pretty futile…People completely change once they come to college. Quiet people become party animals, people who don’t care about appearance start becoming fashionable (in HS My whole warddrobe was from Kohls and probably cost $200, now its probably 20 times higher, and all name brand).

But it heavily depends on what you eat/want to do. If you want to eat healthy, its going to be close to $10 a meal, unless you cook (again, this is a hard thing to judge before you go). Some people eat 2 meals a day, some eat 3. If you have starbucks every day, thats another $28 a week. What are you doing instead of partying? Some people do broadway shows/concerts every week, which is more expensive than drinking. I’d try to have $150-200 a week for food, entertainment, shopping, transportation…anything less is really pushing it.
