When I was in NAIA from 97 to 98 they would give every student something like 40 bucks a week to live off (sort of weird really) which was, of course, part of the training cost. It was just to make sure no one ran out of money buying beer and couldn't eat, which has happened...trust me! 40 bucks a week is enough to survive, but take a VISA card along for the weekends!
Rgds, and have fun. I did!
