  20. standard of living in texas with new grad pay

    jla623 replied to harmonylove28's topic in Texas Nursing

    Arlington is dirt cheap! You can get a really nice apartment there for a VERY low price. Dallas, however, if you are paying $400 a month you will be living in the slums. I would say more around...
