Thank you so much for your reply. Now, I get a full idea about the living cost.

Could you please give me an idea about other cost like food, books, utilities besides house rent?

I got PhD admission into USC with a total stipend of $22000 for fall and spring semester. I will get around $19000 after tax deduction. Is it possible to live within this amount? Is it possible to get summer RA/TA? I am from Bangladesh and don't know anyone in Los Angeles. How can I find housing? I thought of living near campus (university housing if possible). But university housing is limited and the move in date is August 17 while I need to attend orientation at August 8. Is there any place to look for housing?

I got stipend of $22000 per year. I will get around $19200 after paying the tax (13% approximately). Is it possible to live with this amount? I am an international student and would like to live near campus. How much will the rent cost? Is there anyone currently living in graduate housing? Is it easier to get graduate housing? I don't know anyone there. So I preferred to live in graduate housing. But I would like to know others opinion. How much will books and mandatory fees cost?
