Where people usually need more detail
How much should I budget for the first few months?
Look past rent alone. Deposits, groceries, transit, winter gear, and setup costs usually change the real answer.
Which neighborhoods fit different routines?
A good neighborhood is usually the one that reduces friction around commute, errands, and the kind of week you actually expect to have.
Would this city still feel worth it after housing costs?
That is usually the question that matters most. Salary, student life, and city energy only go so far if the budget breaks too early.
