When I was going to school last year, I wouldn't walk out the door without at least a grand here there and everywhere. I figured that would get me home, get a tire replaced, get a motel if I got stranded down there, or whatever. The other cash was left at or near home in various places but all within a max of three miles from home. I didn't want it all in one place.
If it is a normal emergency (is that a contradiction in terms....) your card(s) would still work for emergencies. If it is a no-card kind of emergency and you are less than 100 miles away, a grand should work to get you home, in my opinion anyway.
