I want to develop my own B&W films. After this I'll have the negatives with me. Can I get these printed at my local drug store or any 1-hour photo places? I want to do this because labs that can develop B&W films have gone extinct from my area and the ones that are in nearby towns are exorbitant! Suggestions are welcome as well.
FYI: I am a student and am using Kodak TriX 400 film.

Often, you can just scan and print the film yourself. However, if you're set on paying somebody else to do it, you can probably try your local one-hour photo store.
If you'd like instructions on how to develop the film, try this link:

As long as they can read the negative they should be able to print/scan from them. However the dust removal features of the machines won't work well as they are IR and the film doesn't pass IR well. You may also find that the operator of the machine may not know how to make the black and white scans black and white and you may wind up with a bit of a color cast (that's easy enough to remove in editing software).
The best bet would be to get an enlarger and set up your own darkroom. printing B&W is where all of the real B&W art starts to happen. Dodging, burning and contrast filters are all things you can do, where a lab probably wouldn't do any of those, unless it's a professional lab. Darkroom equipment is cheap now, look on Craigslist or ebay.
The local drug stores are set up to print color prints only, they could send the negatives out, but that would be about it.
