NYCOM/NYIT versus Touro-NY

I'm interested in both of these schools; however, I've read some post-interview threads stating that if you don't have an alternate means of income in addition to student loans it would be pretty hard to afford.

I solely support myself, and the majority of whatever savings I did have is going towards applications/interviews, etc. In the event that I get an interview, I don't want to waste my time making the trip up there in the event that I actually won't be able to afford to go. Any thoughts?

Here's a link from a week ago to a discussion over the same schools:

I can't say I found the answer to my question there; however, I'm extremely thankful that you directed me to that post considering I'll be saving an application fee.

Allow me to re-phrase: How hard is it to survive (in general, I know some students have more/less bills) while attending NYCOM? I definitely don't expect to be going on any shopping sprees, but if only enough student loans are available to cover rent and tuition I'm clearly going to be in trouble.
