Northern Illinois University (NIU)

The food is a LOT cheaper, but then again you eat out several times a day. When it comes to phone bills, you call overseas once in a while but it does not eat up your expense account (check out with different companies on overseas deals!). Rnet a room in an appartment it is almost the same price as on-campus accommodations. The nightlife in DeKalb is extremly cheap even for US standards, $1.5 - $3 drinks especially at Molly's. Traveling is expensive where ever you go, especially in the US!

well food was mainly trough the University cafeterias and it was paid for before hand and telephone I didnt use really. Housing was quite expensive though, more expensive than I expected. Nightlife was great since beer was cheap. Travelling was quite difficult so didnt really do it.
