Personal spending habits
Getting quality food is expensive in the USA compared to France. You an eat for cheap in the USA but mostly junk and unhealthy food. be Careful for the weight!
Telephone is cheaper with local call since you pay a flat fixed price each month: something unbelievable in France! Moreover On campus and local calls were free since I was living on campus.
Nightlife is cheaper than in France: but of course Charleston is not as big as Paris.
Travel is very expensive whether it is by bus, train or plane. and Hotels too are quite expensive. I guess the American Way of Life offers you better salaries and then services are more expensive. You always have to tip.

Personal comments
YOU must always tip in the USA
If you want books from home you better get them from home then in the USA.
Be carefull when you withdraw cash money from the ATM (cash dispensers) try to check out a big amount and don't do it too often with small amounts or you might get expensive charging fees
