<p>But I only lived in the dorms one year. Somehow lucked out that my assigned dorm roommate at Muir was the only child of a Hollywood Producer. She got her Dad to rent a huge house down on the beach in Del Mar for the rest of our college years. I believe that my monthly rent for my room in the house was $175/month.</p>
<p>There was a guest house in the back and my roommate and I cooked up a scheme where we ranked the cutest guys in the whole school and invited 2 of them to rent the guest house - and how could they turn that down 
This ensured that all of their cute surfer friends were hanging at our house all the time.</p>
