500 yuan for college students' living expenses is not enough at all. If only 500 yuan has difficulties in living expenses, 500 yuan only spends on meals, with an average of one day 16 yuan. If the breakfast canteen is the cheapest, 3-4 yuan. If you only eat vegetarian food for lunch and dinner, 6 yuan will start and can't eat meat for a month. This is not good. In college, besides eating, there are other expenses, sometimes there are class parties, community activities and the like, and you usually go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities. These are all places that need to spend money. Only 500 yuan is not enough to spend a month.

If it is because of family economic reasons, you can find some part-time jobs in the university to earn extra living expenses and ease the economic pressure at home. Universities generally have work-study programs, and there will be a lot of part-time information. You can pay more attention to it and enrich your college life.
