Costs of living in Pennsylvania?

It really depends on WHERE you live in PA. The closer you are to Philadelphia or one of the other larger cities, the more you will pay.

Generally, with $2700US, you should be ok unless you live a playboy lifestyle. Here's an example

Rent - $1200 ($600 to you if they pay 50%)

Utilities - $250-$350 (cable, electric, etc.)

Internet - $30

Food - $800 (less if you eat in alot)

Gas - $200-$400 (depends on driving)

That's roughly $700 left over. If you find the bars with $1 drafts and cheap drinks at happy hours... that's ALOT of drinking!

It depends where in PA you are going to be staying. If you are going to a bigger city like Philadelphia the cost of living will be higher. I would say you can probably get by pretty well on $2,700 in most areas, especially if you are paying only 50% of the apartment - which would likely be your biggest expense. Drinking, like everything else, will vary based on where you are, but you can always find cheap places.

Here's a cost of living calculator showing the cost of living in Philadelphia, PA: http://www.payscale.com/cost-of-living-calculator/... I chose Philadelphia, but you can use this calculator to look up the cost of living in other cities in PA. It looks like the cost of housing would be your biggest expense, but you mentioned that 50% will be paid by your company. How much money you need will depend on your personal expenses and lifestyle, but with housing and transportation even partially paid for, you should be fine.

Hope that helps,
