The roles parents play in their children's growth and education can be said to be multifaceted. From the birth of a child, the financial pressure of parents begins to increase, and after the child receives education, the financial pressure increases, and the mental pressure of the parent will also come from the child's learning. Especially during the college entrance examination, people only saw how hard the college candidates worked hard and then lamented that they were not easy, but few people discussed what the parents of these college candidates did and what they experienced behind their children's exams.

However, in the opinion of many parents, once their children enter college, their pressure will be reduced a lot. But it seems that the only thing that parents can relieve is mental pressure. The burden of financial pressure cannot be completely relieved until their children graduate from college and can live independently.

So how much money does a parent have to prepare to support a college student?

We can start with the tuition fees that parents care about the most. The tuition fee is the first fee that the child must prepare after being admitted to the university. Generally speaking, the university fee is around 5,000 a year. Of course, there are some special schools that charge 7,000-8,000, and the accommodation fee must be paid together with the tuition fee. , This cost is about 1000-1500 a year. Parents can easily calculate these two expenses. We calculate it according to the minimum standard of 5,000 tuition fees and 1,000 accommodation fees for one year, and one year is 6,000 yuan. According to different levels of universities, it is generally three to four years. The tuition fee is 18,000, and the undergraduate student is 24,000.

Perhaps in the opinion of many people, such a fee, the child can live and study in a big city for three or four years, is also very cost-effective. But you must know that children do not only live and study in college, they also need to live, eat and play. For this cost, many parents choose the "contract system", giving their children a fixed monthly living allowance and letting them allocate their own expenses.

This cost is generally determined according to the consumption level of the city where the child's school is located. Taking the central region as a reference, the living expenses for the parents are about 1,500 a month. Of course, this amount is only the basic expenses that students can guarantee their daily life, because many parents will be more prepared to prevent their children from learning bad in the open environment of the university, and they can’t keep an eye on their children’s behavior like before, so they can only be financially regulate them. However, there are also some children from better families. Because their own consumption habits have been developed, it is impossible for parents to reduce their children's expenses after their children are admitted to college. Therefore, the living expenses of such children must be more than 1500.

However, if this cost is to be calculated, it must be the lowest price and not the high one, so that parents can have the most confidence. Therefore, if the living expenses of 1,500 are used as the standard, then apart from the winter and summer vacations, only the fixed expenses of parents will be in the three aspects of tuition, accommodation and living expenses. A junior college student costs about 31,000 yuan, and an undergraduate student costs about 37,000 yuan. If a student wants to take a postgraduate entrance exam, the tuition fee is the same as that of an undergraduate student.

In addition to these expenses, college students are usually required to purchase mobile phones and computers, which are prepared when students enroll. These prices are different because of different brands and quality, but at least 5,000 yuan is to be taken out. Moreover, although the child does not need parents to pay living expenses during the three months of winter and summer vacations, it is very likely that there will be some travel or other arrangements. This cost may not be lower than the living expenses of 1,500 per month, so the cost of winter and summer vacations is also for parents. A very annoying thing.

In addition to this large fee, there are also some sporadic expenses such as the examination fee for children and the fee for learning materials. Although it is not much, it also requires parents to pay for it separately. So these costs are at least fifty or sixty thousand in total. This fee may be acceptable for urban families, but it is really difficult for many rural families. So those college students who are taking their parents' hard-earned money, please stop drowning in school. Because in society, you should only rely on yourself, and your parents should no longer carry the burden for you.
