So im starting this fall and was curious about how people usually do spending money. im going to the university of georgia, which has a very active downtown. i applied for a citi dividend platinum select visa card for college students, that Ill be using for gas/food/snacks (parents paying it; im very responsible with money). Ill also be using my university card for printing/laundry/food places that take it/ect., so I was wondering how much cash I will need each semester. I dont plan to go and buy clothes or games or anything, so just cash for everyday junk.
Also should I open any kind of bank account in town? (athens is 5 hours away from my hometown).
