I was wondering the average money spent for living expense while in dental school. I understand that it varies by location, but we can also include that as well.

For example, I know that during undergraduate I would spend about roughly 12 grands per year. With rent and utilities were about $700/month and food was about $300/month. Would this be roughly the same if I am in dental school? (East coast, West coast, and Central)

Thanks!
 
You will be looking higher depending on where you matriculate. 12 grand a year is pretty tight in this day.
