    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    How much spending money do you need to live on campus?

    • A.

      If you give an estimate, say at least $200 a month, so the student never has to worry about money.

    • B.

      If you give an estimate, start low, and students can always ask for more money.

    • C.

      Students do not need an allowance in order to eat or have fun.

    • D.

      Both B & C

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Both B & C
    Explanation
    "DO NOT give personal financial information if you feel uncomfortable doing so; when generalizing, be conservative, as many parents cannot afford to send any money for allowance. Students do not need an allowance in order to eat or have fun. Students will never go hungry on Pacific’s meal plan, and the campus offers various forms of FREE or cheap entertainment. If parents ask for advice on how much money to send, Pacific advises that parents start low, and students can ask for more if they want it. If students want to eat off-campus (several restaurants accept the PacificCard) or if they want to participate in off-campus trips or activities, $20–50 a month can go along way. Also, Pacific recommends that parents consider giving students a low-limit credit card, so parents can see how students are spending their money, plus a low-limit credit card be handy in an emergency" (slide #8).

Having your own computer means you can work late, work in your room, or work off-campus, which is not an option if you depend on the computer labs. Effective time management is crucial for students who don’t plan to bring their own computer. All students can access a free wi-fi connection anywhere on-campus"
