Mount Allison University, biochemistry
I try to stick to a monthly budget of $1,275. My parents cover my groceries and school costs, like books and big purchases, but I pay for my rent and entertainment by working over the summer and part time during the school year.
Rent: $475
I live in a house with five girls. I know one of them from back home, which is Halifax. Each of us pays $475 a month, except for one roommate who has the biggest room in the house. She pays for our Wi-Fi, which is an extra $69 a month. Aside from internet, all other utilities are included. Our rent will be going up soon to $500 a month, but I plan to stay here. It’s a good house and I’m a six-minute walk to most of my classes on campus. I usually work in the summer to save up money for housin...
Groceries: $400
Every Tuesday, the Foodland in Sackville offers a 15 per cent discount to students. But it’s a 20-minute walk or a five-minute drive, so I pitch in a few dollars a month to cover gas for my roommate’s car. The store has pretty good deals and two-for-one specials. I’ll stock up on yogurt, frozen fruit and milk to make smoothies; bread and deli meat for lunch sandwiches; and chips and raw vegetables to snack on. I’ll make pasta, chicken burgers and stir-frys with rice for dinner. My parents giv...
Queen’s University, applied math and engineering
I spend anywhere from $1,200 to $1,400 most months. I don’t really have a set budget, but I was raised not to spend a lot, and it would eat at me if I went out for dinner two nights in a row. Right now, I’m completely independent from my parents in terms of money. Last summer, I had a paid, four-month finance internship with CIBC that covered two semesters of tuition, rent and living expenses. I’m also a Schulich Leader Scholar, which comes with a $25,000 scholarship annually over four years....
Rent:$625
I have my own room in a house I share with five other girls. The rooms are different sizes, so we did a draw to divvy them up. I’m in a medium-sized room, which is $25 cheaper than the large spaces.
Utilities and internet: $80
I’m in charge of our hydro, gas and water bills. I have an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything. Another roommate is in charge of the internet, which is $18 a month per person. The rest of our utilities average out to about $62 a month each.
University of Waterloo, mechatronics engineering
When I’m on a co-op term, I’ll spend 40 per cent of my paycheque, which works out to about $1,300 a month, and save the rest. If it’s a study semester and I don’t have any income, I don’t do any “fun” spending, and I use a portion of a scholarship I received to cover my rent and other school expenses.
Rent: $652
I share a five-bedroom basement apartment with four other second-year engineering students. The unit is half above ground, so we still get a lot of sunlight. It’s a bit further from campus—a 20-minute walk or a seven-minute bus ride. We’re saving about $125 a month by living further away, so it was a worthwhile trade-off for us. In addition to rent, I pay $15 for my share of the internet bill and $12 for hydro.
Food: $125
I go home to my parents’ place in Mississauga every weekend, and they always send me back to school with enough leftovers for the week. I’m not very good at cooking on my own, but I’ll help my parents cook things like biryani and samosas. Sometimes I get bored of eating leftovers, so I’ll get takeout twice a week. It’s usually a crispy chicken wrap from Tim Hortons or a sub from Subway, which cost about $7. Sometimes I’ll get a chicken shawarma plate from Lazeez, a shawarma place in Waterloo,...
