Having them print contact sheet, for a few dollars is rather expensive. It will be better to do it yourself since printing b/w is a personal thing.
However, I've been told that printing b/w onto photo paper at Colour Lab (Adelphi) is less than $1 per 4R. Results weren't too bad.

printing-wise, you can get cheap digital b/w prints, but nothing beats the hand-prints on b/w paper. The fun is doing it yourself
vivientan said:Yeah, I know what u mean. The thrill of seeing the fruits of your labour come to life in the darkroom. Too bad, I have no access now. Really missed those school days where I skipped lunch to work it out in the darkroom
