How much does it cost to live independantly as a student?

I will be moving to university next year and will be living in self catered apartments which cost $250p/w (Australian). what would be the range that I should be expecting to pay for food per week? Perhaps if anyone has already lived in self catered apartments could you tell me how much you payed roughly per week? Assume that I can eat cheap food aswell :P

    As little as possible. Not sure as to what you have to cook with. Just a microwave & frig or full kitchen? Can stretch the $ with a full kitchen. If you have the resources and don't mind leftovers, cook in large batches and freeze leftovers in Ziploc Vacuum storage bags. It saves me a lot of $. Makes my food last a lot longer. I've been there and done that. Lived in dorms for many years. Put Ramyoon Noodles on the shopping list. Very inexpensive.

    Good luck in school.
