I'm aware that you can get room and board through the college obviously, but I am trying to think about other expenses. I come from a small town in PA and I understand everything is more expensive in cities. Pittsburgh (the nearest city to me), however, is a pretty inexpensive, and I figured Chicago would be more expensive like NYC. So, is everything pretty expensive in Chicago for a broke college kid?
