Your revised list doesn't look that much shorter than your original list.

You call yourself "motivation" but you'll need more than just that to get into graduate school in the US. For starters, if you really think you are smart enough, you'd realize that you should define:

what you think to be a good place? Safe, cheap, friendly, easy to drive in (relatively speaking in the US),

good people? What does this mean? Do you mean a city with a low crime rate? Such locations tend to be expensive to live in.

"good" cost of living? What does this mean? You mention $1600 p/month. Is this figure the maximum cost of rent you can afford? The inclusive amount (housing, food, travel/gas, bills)?

People on this forum could probably help you better once you've (you have to do a lot of work yourself you know) narrowed down your list to say, ten universities.

Have you looked at the websites for all these universities? I would imagine that some if not most of them give details of the cost of living for overseas students.

Errrrr... let's try this:

Open Excel, and type this into a box:

=ROUND(RAND()*56,0)

That's your school!

Patience is such a verture when dealing with younguns isn't it....

Just choose three or four of the ones you wish to apply for and start there... Much easier to get help then sweetie..

Personally, my choice would be narrowed down by the best courses offered by the University along with their facilities.

After that, I would then look at the cost of living. I'm not sure what it's like for most states, but where I am in Georgia, there are many student apartments and I see them advertised all around town (Georgia Southern University is located where I live). They range from $400 - $675.

You can use this site www.101apartments.com to get an idea of the cost of apartments in the area around the desired universities. But going by your long list, it will take you some time.

Good luck

I don't see Manchester Poly on your list, an oversight surely?

Based on a review of the OP's posts, I honestly believe the OP's area of expertise should be limited to "pushing pancakes".
