HOW DOES ONE MANAGE TO PAY FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL?

I am a senior in high school who will not be receiving any financial aid. I am curious on how one manages to get by medical school because of the rigorous studying one is required to do on the daily basis.

I'm a domestic applicant (with U.S. citizenship), but my family will stay in a different country while I'm in college, so I would prefer a safe environment with a location in which I can get the minimum supplies I need by myself, and it would be the best if there is a solid campus-town. I'm currently considering BS/MD or pre-med paths. Are there any universities/colleges that would suit me with these conditions?

College/university in safe environment with a solid pre-med path or BS/MD program.
