Is there any way to do these things without paying a large pricetag? Could you just lurk around campus or something? Only half-joking here.
Planning fallacy is going to eat you alive if you use this technique.
Grad school is free. At most good PhD programs in the US, if you get in then they will offer you funding which covers tuition and pays you a stipend on the order of $25K per year. In return, you may have to do some work as a TA or in a professor's lab.
The real cost is the ~5 years of your life.
This is most assuredly the case in the biological sciences. And you DO have to do work with your mentor, and sometimes also TA.
