So true - such a hard question to answer. I started off depositing $200/mo in my D’s account but she wasn’t really using any of it so at winter break I dropped it to $100/mo. SHe’s still not using it and has quite a bit saved!

She plays a varsity sport which takes up a lot of time, but she also goes into town fairly often. She does order from the Thai place sometimes and they have made a trip or two to Whole Foods.

I guess it comes down to the social events on other campuses are only a few bucks and she does not have time to go into Natick to shop. I do a lot of ordering things for her through Amazon Prime so she doesn’t really need much money.

Not sure how much our experience has helped, but thought I would put it out there.
