Re: How much is it to live in the USA? radhamesramos - 01-07-08 09:37 Always depends on the city you are going to live in. New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, are very expensive, big cities (though I have a friend who came to Chicago with wife and two kids, and is doing just fine)
In some cities you can live with 1500, in others, 2500-3000. Depends where do you live and how you organize yourself

Re: How much is it to live in the USA? mindswapper - 01-07-08 23:31 This is a vague Q and very difficult to answer since it depends entirely on where you live, especially when as a family.
As an individual, the stipend is good to support or... even for a couple, it is good. But I dunno if it is enuff for a 'family'!
