We used to have free university in Australia. No longer. When I went to university (early 90's) I paid about $3000 a year for tuition (books etc were on top of that). It is probably triple that now (if not more - I haven't looked at the costs for a while).
What you said about living in Chicago - great things to do culturally - this is what I imagine one of the great things about living in the USA would be. Lots of things to do, if you are so inclined. I hear things on this board sometimes about movie screenings of classic films, about conventions and the like. We don't get those sort of things very often (hardly ever) in Australia. I imagine it would be great to live in a country big enough an wealthy enough to support these sort of niche interests.

Well, I'm studying cinematography. I don't really want to say how much I'm going to owe by the time I'm done, but I will say a four-year degree at my school, on average, costs around $80,000.
As far as primary and high school, there's no base attendance cost. However, there are various fees and costs for supplies and the like.
Now, about Chicago, it's definitely true that it is a city in which you can find plenty of great events to attend: independent, classic, and cult film screenings; great shows, music and theatrical; amazing food and the like. That's certainly not everywhere, though. There are plenty of places, even some bigger cities around the US, that are mainly devoid of those cultural events.
