My husband and I live comfortably (not luxury) on the fellowship he gets from the school in Stanford. I enjoy cooking and we eat out once a week (for sushi). :arrow: The important thing is that you should find grocery stores to get things with a reasonable price, asian ones in particular There are many around the area such as in Sunnyvale/Cupertino/San jose. Those area are not far from Stanford. I used to stay in London as a grad student which the living expense there is also very high but still manageable because I can shop for food with reasonable price easily (the china town market there is not far from the university I attended). While living two years in Chicago, the grocery budget each time was higher and the quality of food is not that good. When we moved to Stanford, we spend around $50 per week for 2 persons on every meal. Also I agree with rising_star that slower cooker is great.

Fall 2008 at SUSE. M.A. in Learning Design and Technology. Are you going for an admit day on April 7th?

I don't think you can do this, I'm not sure what country you are from but most of the international students have to get/change visa type from the U.S.Embassy in their country. In my case, I used to carry them both. For a better answer, I think you should check with the University's international office, usually the staff there deal with immigration issue of international students.
