Former students recommend making your own breakfast and dinner and buying lunch. Plan a budget for groceries, bus and metro transportation, cabs, books, and entertainment expenses. Most students budget $150–$200 a week on average.
There are multiple grocery stores within walking distance of TWC provided housing including Giant, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joes, and various smaller markets or international stores.
