Is the summer housing worth it

Are you talking about the dorms for the summer session? University dorms are expensive because the demand for it is inelastic; students would pay the expensive rent because they don’t want to go through all the hassle of finding a place to live, want live closer to campus, and so on.

$200 sublet!!! Wow… How far is it from campus? Is it furnished? Are utilities included? Do you have to share the room with someone else?

Based on my observations in the area, most subleases and regular leases are around $600-$700 for the summer (except for the occasional $400-$500 sublease with no utilities included or with no furniture).
