    When it comes to school things are rather pricey. Food and tuition on campus is not the cheapest around. But when it comes to drinks and food off and around campus thats where its cheap. Every night there is a dollar night somewhere at a bar. There are plenty of food specials spread around so you can always eat something cheap.
