My son doesn’t eat out much (maybe once a week he’ll order pizza or eat in a restaurant). He usually cooks dinner (a lot of times with several others), and for breakfast/lunch he has fruit, cereal, sandwiches, etc. He doesn’t drink so there’s no need for beer money. He spends less than $200 total - usually closer to $150.

Having said that, my son hates to spend money and I think most students will spend more. Once a week for eating out/pizza resembles my college days not at all.
