Nah, I don't critic unless I know you. Strangers don't usually tend to take it well. |

So we were just really bad at understanding each other.
I'm glad we could further derail the thread together.

Yeah, to sum up and get this back on track, it depends a lot on how you spend your money. I didn't buy most of my first year books, but the ones I did buy I regretted. Depending on the program all your books will be in the library, or you can pick up used ones ridiculously cheap. And to be honest, a lot of them you won't need to use. If you really wanted, you could spend $0 on textbooks.
Out of pocket expenses for entertainment etc depends on how expensive your tastes are, how often you go out, etc. Best tip I can give: predrinking saves money, and is generally half the fun.
