what is the cost of living for a student in the phillipines?

Answer 1

I sent my barely 19 year old ex-girl friend to college in Manila. She is now a registered nurse in the Philippines. Her allowance was 15,000 pesos per month. Unknown to my knowledge, she spent the rest of the money to maintain her boyfriend while in college.
The tuition fee was less than 30,000 pesos per semester.
I sent her textbooks published in the USA. One Nursing textbook can cost $80, give or take $20.
A 30,000 pesos per month allowance might be extravagant. This might already include allowances for disco, expenses for girlfriends, entertainment, vacations, and other non-related expenses just for education alone.

It can be as little as P 1,000 ( $20) a month for bedspace at a boarding house per month up to P10,000 ($200) for a furnished private room (Aircon) with meals included. Most students near us eat at calderitas (small mom and pop resturants) at a cost of P30 ($ .60) for a meal. Average tuition is P28,000 per year plus uniforms, testing fees, registration and other misc. expenses.
We live just down the street from a communtity college and have a large student population here. Plus I have 2 kids in college here and am well aware of the costs.
