Living cost is ridiculously cheap. Living off-campus is well advised. On campus jobs will be hard to come by for reason already shared by Tommy. 

Why don't you apply to Kato? It's a better school. 

In any case, it's a no-lose situation. MN State unis are the most suited colleges for average students in the states,imo. You get the perfect blend of everything. Struggle, hardship, working experience and at the same time, you get a pavement to assimilate in the American society. 

Good luck.
