Try Google or Google maps. You will quickly find your answer.

Yes, Bunkyo-ku is a city district in central Tokyo.

It is not far out of central Tokyo. Living expenses depend on lots of factors, but Bunkyo-ku isn't the most expensive area in Tokyo at all. Plenty of students live there. If you live about half an hour's train ride further north though, your rent will probably be lower.

Food costs are similar in most areas of Japan- food in Tokyo isn't particularly expensive.

I'm a resident of Bunkyo-ku.

As Sira said, Bunkyo-ku isn't particularly the expensive area in Tokyo as a whole but still it's a patchwork of rather rich neighborhood districts and far less rich ones, which also can be said about the other wards of Tokyo. So if you'd like to cut expenses as much as possible, make sure not to opt a rich neighborhood. You'd be able to consult with the staff of your college about this issue.
