Spending money

For a reasonably social person, $1-2 thousand is probably typical for the entire year. That number could easily be under 1k for highly disciplined folks or upwards of 5-6k for the big spenders (my freshman roommate felt the need to outfit the dorm with a 52inch plasma and Bose surround sound. Gotta take what you can get I suppose). I guess that comes close to $1-200 hundred per month, but you’ll spend more in certain months, especially the beginning when you’re getting the dorm set up. It could also be less if you’re using a FLEX account to cover things such as groceries. I was a frosh in 2006 so I could be forgetting that more things are covered for you as a freshman living on East, I’ve been accustomed to living w/o a food plan so there may be others better suited to answering your question.
