Naturally, the amount of spending money students will need per quarter varies by individual. You and your student should establish needs and expectations ahead of time. In addition to personal needs, plan for the cost of books and supplies. The cost of books varies, depending on course selection. On average, expect to spend between $275-$300 per term for books and supplies.

We strongly advise students not to carry around or keep in their rooms, large sums of cash. We recommend that students open a checking account, preferably with a local bank as such checks are more easily accepted at local businesses and it is easier for the student to transact business.
