DD has been working since beginning of sophomore year, and has put almost all of it in savings, plus she has gotten money from birthdays, picking up scrap iron at Grandpa's farm, and I contribute my church organist earnings to the girls' accounts. Amazingly, she has saved up over $13,000 and then she got $1700 from graduation. Plus she is still working at least through July. She will have 5 semesters of community college and then be done. Between scholarships and what we contribute, she won't have to pay very much tuition if at all. She will pay for her rent ($550/month), books, and groceries/personal items/entertainment, though I'm sure I'll be sending her back with lots of food after weekend visits and doing some shopping with her when we come see her . Haven't decided whether to have her keep using our card for gas.
Planning on her having a part time job up there- if she can make a few hundred a month it will really help her not drain the savings. She wants to apply at Michael's since she's artsy. The town is very up and coming so there are part-time jobs galore. Just behind her apartment building there is going to be a new theater and bowling complex and more new development happening.
