Thanks. I think it’s important for parents to understand these issues before signing up. It’s not as though housing is an insurmountable problem. But it takes a very special kind of student that is not every kid. In particular the kid has to be either:
a) Extremely out-going and resourceful. I mean some kids are handing out housing CVs to people on campus!
b) Have a low standard in terms of housing quality/safety. I just told me daughter no way are you getting unsafe housing.
