It really depends on which part of PDC you will be spending your money. If you stick to 5th/10th Ave., then BLD will run you around $35 a day. Personally, I like to eat more like the locals and you can cut that to $20 a day while eating like a king. Try eating at places along 30ave (?) (around the Walmart and Mega). We like El Fogon at 30 and Constituentes. Talk with your instructor/s and they will point you in the right direction.

One of the best things about PDC are the Lavanderias. Essentially a wash and fold service that are very reasonable. We always hit one right before we leave and come home with clean clothes.
