消费水平的话,吃一顿中餐,如果不讲究,一个人$5-7以内可以搞定。房子有很便宜的,$300一个月的,也有很贵的,$1000以上一个月的。单间的话如果学校宿舍会比较贵,$700以上,租房便宜,一般$500左右,给你推荐一个叫Illni manor的地方,是我最后一年住的单人间,就在学校里面,走到图书馆5分钟,健身中心5分钟,商学院和法学院都是5-10分钟,去工程院有公车,10分钟一趟,有小厨房,跟旁边人共用厕所,一个月水电网全包500。我五年住了五个地方,给你一个参考吧:
Freshman year, $700/month at dorm, double room, no private bathroom, no kitchen
Sophomore year, $700/month at another dorm, double room, no private bathroom, no kitchen
Junior year, $450/month at apartment with 3 roommates, a big dining hall, private bathroom and kitchen
Senior year, $800/month at dorm for graduate students, single room, private bathroom but no kitchen
Super-senior year, $500/month at a single studio, with private bathroom and kitchen
