Replying to So Im thinking of moving to the us. Where?!

Right now Im in the middle of my economy & administration education, and im thinking of moving to usa as soon as I finish my bachelor degree, or maby one year before, and finish it over there.. So where would I go? Are there any good economy universitys or collages? I really want to go anywhere in the west coast preferably, maby colorado or somewhere near. Although its a year ahead, Im starting to plan, so that things run abit smoother when I get started. Are there any problems getting jobs? How about getting a place to live? Expencive rent for a one room appartment?
Hoping to get some imput here. Thanks
