The Washington Square News details the sticker shock NYU students face while living in NYC and having vices like smoking and drinking. One student says, "I smoke up to two packs a day, which is probably $60 to $100 a week," while another says she buys them in bulk when she's back at home in Atlanta ($3.50/pack!). And one sophomore (underage, natch), says she tries to budget for her drinking, "For instance, if she’s planning to go out, she might not go to dinner that night to save money." And if you think these kids should go out for the free, simple pleasures, well, there are dangers there: A chunk of concrete fell in a common room, hitting a foosball table--luckily no one was hurt.

In the spirit of responsible budgeting; a small amount should be put away weekly for drugs such as weed and the occasional cocaine use.
Amounts should also be earmarked for paying someone to do your homework and write your essays...
Only an NYU student would think it's still 'cool' to be a smoker. Just like they think Ambercrombie tshirts are 'fashionable' and flip-flops 'practical'
here's a quick fix:
roll your own and pimp a flask
Smokers are the new social outcasts in this city and it will only get worse for them. Most of the young smokers I encounter these days are transplants from areas of the country that are a little more smoker-friendly. Like smoking will make their time in the city any easier, yeah right.
No dinner before drinking? I loves me some mono.
I think they're hiring at Scores and Emperor's club. That will buy you more ciggs and booze than work-study at the 'brary.
Now that I quit smoking I have more time and money to beat up drunk Pace students.

Redundant.
I remember when I was just out of college with a decent job I was spending $100 to $150 a week on drugs and alcohol. It was bankrupting me.
These poor students should be exempt fro- damn, my tiny violin just broke.
I also agree these students are very bad thinging people to waste their money
