<p>elsijfdl, suppasonic, and arbiter213-
All of you are always so good about responding to NU posts, and I want you to know how much I needed your help. Thank YOU! I really was in the dark. EEE-Gads, Chipolte charges $12 for just a burrito/drink & chips! Incredible! Needless to say-a lot more money than I thought-so-my DD will be appreciative when I “understand” things are more expensive.
For those students/parents of students who may benefit, I wanted to share something that may be helpful–my DD talked to the current renter about buying her furniture-and they were able to work out a deal that worked for both of them. This way DD did not need to schlep a new bed, dresser, desk, bookshelves, dining room table, 2 chairs & a couch. It was a win/win scenario.
Students-was there something your parents bought you that you would recommend? or that you really didn’t need and wish they hadn’t? or ideas for things you’d like-ie-cookbooks/kitchen items/gift cards to specific stores in Evanston?
I truly appreciate your help! and ideas-APOL-a mom</p>
