It doesn’t much matter if the prices “correlate”. The prices off campus are far more reasonable than the university related housing, some of which is off campus-as is the apartment complex I mentioned earlier. So for the OP who initially was considering not attending due to cost, my suggestion was to attend and lower costs by living in less expensive housing. Makes complete sense to me. Not sure if you understand the point I’m trying to make here Rebeccar. The tuition is quite low. Housing costs can be reduced. If a student could attend if the costs were lower, seems a good idea to suggest that, if you know how that can happen-which I do.
