Relocation

I know this has been discussed quite a bit, but find the scenario for each person seperate. Currently I'm looking at a variety of schools I want to go to (currently attending school, but researching something I don't feel like doing the rest of my life).

On with the question, my movement decision is going to come down to which school I find best suits my needs, and I will be visiting these places over the summer and fall to make my final decisions, but at the moment I'm looking at relocating from front range Colorado to one of the following.

Orlando, Florida
Vancouver, BC, Canada
Seattle, Washington
New York City, New York
Long Beach, California

This list is just the current schools I've been looking at, more than likely it will grow and shrink. At the moment Orlando and New York are looking like my best choices, but that can all change.

What I want to know is college expenses aside, how much money should I have saved up for moving to one of these cities. What are the typical living expenses month to month of these places. Almost all of these places I won't have any friends or family to help me get started, most the schools have job placement and housing assistance, but I also don't want to pick up and leave, and find myself three months later falling behind with everything moneywise.

Do you think even without a sufficient savings I should just pick up and pursue my dreams? I love Colorado, but as far as enjoying my future, and enjoying what I do there isn't much that any school in Colorado has to offer me. Any info on any of those cities would be appreciated.
