Living cost in the bridgeport does not affect so much. Living cost is almost the same everywhere when you are student. The only thing that matters much is the Tuition fee. The tuition fee of bridgeport is very very very high. And you would not be able to pay the tuition for other semester by just working over here. Although you have got visa for Bridgeport, if you have got the I20 of other cheaper university you can directly go over there. So think about that.

So if you need more information about University of Bridgeport let me know about it. By the way are you for bachelors or masters degree?
