What's the boat... It would help if you said that... as the options will vary depending on what kind of boat it is. If it is a Laser, it can often be left on a trailer and stored that way, avoiding slip fees....etc.
Maintenance costs aren't all that high on a boat that is in good shape, particularly if you sail on freshwater and keep the boat on the trailer, rather than in the water. Much of the maintenance is also stuff you can do yourself.
Also, what is your living situation. It becomes more difficult if you live in a dormitory or apartment. If you live in a house, then the storage issue might be easily solved, if the landlord/zoning restrictions will allow you to store the boat in your yard.
Jeff's point about the University's boats is also a good one... and in some schools, you may be able to store your boat with at the university boat house, if you're a student and/or on the sailing team.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
