Students See a Very Merry Christmas This Year
On average this season, students estimate they'll spend about $410 on holiday presents, including gift cards, according to OnCampus Research's Holiday Shopping Survey 2012.
People also ask, how much should a college student spend per month?
Since many college students work and earn an average of $195 per week or $10,000 if working part-time year-round, they should not need any help with "spending money."
Sample Budget.
Budget Category | |
---|---|
Food (assuming that most meals are eaten on campus) | $3,500- $7,500 |
Gas/Car Insurance | $1,000-$5,000 |
Cell Phone | $150-$800 |
Just so, what college students want for Christmas?

ANSWER: The average last year was around $800. The average household income was around $50,000. If you make $25,000, then you would be half of average, and you should have as your guideline for your whole Christmas budget about half of the average, or about $400.
