Both B & C

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).Rate this question:
