I live in the south, South Carolina to be exact.  Its about the cheapest place, and about the safest too.\n\nWe don't have hostels.  You would have to get an apartment or hotel.  You can get a hotel for between $130 and $250/wk depending on where you stay. You could get an apartment for anywhere between $350-$550, but then you still have to pay the bills.  Hotels tend to be a better deal.  They have long-term stay discounts you can get.\n\nFood can be as cheap as you want it to be.  Our state mandated daily food reembursement (the amount of money employees can receive for food each day if they are out of town for work) is $32, and that's more than enough money.  Just depends on what you want to spend.  And most people don't need 3 meals a day either.  For a month, if you bought groceries to keep in your hotel, you could make it off $200. (I don't know what the guy that answered earlier is eating for $60/month.  My dog eats more than that.)

There are a million sites to go to. I have been many times and it is like home to me- doing everything I can to move there. You know how after it rains and the sun is setting everything turns kinda a gold color? Imagine that color for most of the day. The land always smell sweet, even when its winter and nothing is in bloom. The food is always piping hot. The sound of galic, scot-english is a soothing music to your ears.(I know it all sounds corney, but its the way I see and feel it) expensive- yes, a bit. the exchange rate is a bit high, but not too bad. and you can stay in a hostel for rather cheap ($15-25 a night) food and beer is quite inexpensive but retail is high. would I go again? duh- yeah

NONE, NONE, NONE, NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nThe disadvantages are your friends and family never seeing you again. The pain they will have to live with if you do it and the guilt they will feel. There is nothing in this world that is that bad!!! Just remember that God would never put you through something you could not handle. (This to shall pass!)

Lots of advantages, depending on your viewpoint, but these are the disadvantages I see:\n1. Really sick kids, as in critically ill children. You have to be able to separate yourself from that. \n2. You're often on-call EVERY night - unless you're in a big enough group that alternates call. \n3. Primary care doctors (pediatricans, GPs, Internal medicine, etc.) are often low on the HMO food chain, so if you're going into medicine for the money, become a specialist. \nGood luck!

1) I don't like sharing 300 square feet of space with 3 other people.\n\n2) Why should I pay to do that when I can pay the same amount and have my own rented apartment?\n\n3) No parking for dormers.\n\n4) I work.\n\n5) Where do you live when the school year is on summer break (assuming you don't have parents)?\n\n6) Nothing to do on-campus (that interests me at least).\n\n7) Living on your own is best for people with more independent personalities.\n\n8) Paying rent on time builds your credit worthiness.\n\n9) You meet more diverse people off-campus than on-campus.

There would be only two disadvantages:\n1. The bed is not durable enough for daily use and will wear out too quickly.\n2. It is too soft for you and causes back problems.\n\nIf it is durable and causes no problems with your back, neck, headaches, etc., then use it like any other mattress.

The main advantages I can think of are:\n*  You get an idea of others  levels of expertise.\n*  Right through life you will be faced with some form of competition, even job applications are a competition of sorts.\nSo practise is a good thing.\n* Doing well in a competition can increase your self image. \n\nI can only think of one disadvantage - losing! \nBut even that is an experience.

The disavantages are that\n1- Some people might envy you and eventually get jealous\n2- Some people might try to sabotage you\n3- Some people will try to hurt you in any way they can\n\nBut as you see there are more advantages than disavantages!
