By transportation and miscellaneous cost I'm pretty sure it's covering insurance/gas for a beater car, have normal food, medical/dental/eye care expenses, maybe hair cuts, but definately not money to be spent on movies, clubbing, concerts etc.
Leisiure,past-time and recreation should be coming out of one's pocket...save the LOC/student loan for somebody that can't even have enough for paying their tuition.
Your first post in this thread was about "up your living condition", not maintaining a moderate standard of living. It seems like your definition of standards of living is far from the average "student budget" standards of living.

ok well by up living conditions, i meant
from that of ghetto sardine can scrapping, out in 2 degree temperatures in the pouring rain, etcetc. by no means do i plan on prospering or blowing money lent for an education on a lifestyle that i normally wouldnt have before. i just think that without decent full time job, i wont have the financial resources necessary to maintain my present standard of living. now its fair to say that you a student should compromise and make sacrifices during the time that he or she is in school, i just think if i compromised any further, i would be at that level of sardine can scrapping.
those costs you mentioned are exactly what im thinking about. normal food, funding for health, definitely need haircuts. but what difference is insuring my beater car versus my weekender? they both cost the same for insurance per month. assuming i wont have time to go anywhere on the weekdays, the cost for gas is negligible too
