Take off $70 for a bus pass and $230 for food, that still leaves $300 per month left over.
Do I go through more money each month? Hell yes! But it can be done. When I was going to school I made it through earning $6.50 per hour and paying $475 in rent.
And as for good resume jobs, I know of people who do volunteer work just for the sake of having it on the resume.

I looked at that site too, and there are a couple places going lower then 300. One was at $119.
You could get by if you had too.
