Spent much time with college students lately? They’re still eating top ramen. It just costs more than it did when you were in college.[/quote]
No doubt. Everything is more expensive.
I go to UCSD campus often enough. I don’t know what they eat. But Price Center is crowded and many students are dressed better/more expensive than me and have lots of gizmos I don’t have.May 7, 2011 at 9:48 AM #693389Participant[quote=SK in CV]

Universities now have food courts like at the shopping mall. It wasn’t the case when I was a student. Food service is definitely better and more expensive.
Students also dress better than in the past. Kids now start wearing premium clothing early on.

This part about living expenses is just a side story if you want and you want to make a big deal about it. Not sure why you are up in arms. Do you think getting a student loan so one can wear latest fashion, buy an iphone, iPad, starbucks, etc is smart?[/quote]Spent much time with college students lately? They’re still eating top ramen.

Sure, if you shop at a corner mom-pop store in the middle of SF. My kid who will graduate in two weeks from SFSU, like many other students, had a military dependent ID (now too old) and a vehicle sticker to get on base. They made the nearly 50-mile trek to the commissary in Santa Clara once a month with 3 lists and bought ramen for 11 cents a pkg for themselves and 3 roommates with the roommates’ cash. Plus all the other items they needed in bulk. For this 3-hr a month headache, my kid ate free and used free paper products/toiletries for nearly six years. Sometimes another roomie came along as a “guest” to push a second cart. Bill was $250 – $400 mo for four people.
The campus dining hall would have cost the four of them $1800-$2000 mo, had they all been students and lived close to campus.
There are more than nine ways to skin a cat if the student is savvy and takes cash up front. The other roomies were only too happy to “subsidize” my kid for being able to take advantage of these incredible savings for themselves. It was a win-win situation. This can be done at bases all over the state if just one college roommate has a military dependent ID and vehicle sticker.
