Re: macro photo and video dslr?
I looked at the SL1. They're slick. But I had trouble wrapping/curling my hands around the body comfortably. I needed something bigger, which is weightier. But honestly, the 105mm macro lens adds a good chunk of weight too.

Depending on what your degree is in, you may also look for intern positions at certain places. These may not pay you anything, and so you would be like a volunteer, but they may provide housing and/or food.
