Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
The housing and discos are way cheaper than UCLA's. I also spent less on cell phone bills because most of my friends are my corridormates, so I didn't need to contact them via phone.
