that seems insane for that market. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:37
mommy and daddy gotta pony up the big bucks for a nice place. How does it compare to prices for on-campus housing? -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:35 9
- room *and board* is $10k per year. all utilities included on campus obvs. -- nm - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 06:41 8
  - so about 15-20% more than on-campus (excluding utilities). That's not outrageous, but still expensive -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:44 7
    - and no food. -- nm - Andie Feb 27, 06:44 6
      - food is $4ish k per year -- (link) - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 07:00 3
        
        right, so it's a landlord's market and they can charge what ever they want -- nm - decline Feb 27, 07:04 2
        
        it's true. one could rent out a room in a house walking distance to campus for $700 per month. -- (edited) - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 07:12 1
        
        you could get some cute grad student to 'help you around the house' - decline Feb 27, 07:15
      - Just give the kid 20 bucks for pizza and he'll be good for the semester -- nm - decline Feb 27, 06:48 1
        
        And have leftovers if he eats Gumby's -- nm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:53
That's aimed at students, right? - spamlet Feb 27, 06:34 3
- it's nine floors of undergrads and two floors of grad/professional. - university of amanda jones Feb 27, 06:40 2
  - Why is a car not an option? Also, is this a new building that didn't build parking? -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 27, 07:04 1
    - no parking -- nm - decline Feb 27, 07:05
uuuuummmmmmmmmm - ty97 Feb 27, 06:33
