Wow! re: Johns Hopkins’ housing! You might as well buy a cheapish condo and rent out an extra room to another. At least you’ll get a tax break.

I’m sure that there are kids here on CC that are considering JH and have never looked at the housing prices.

I still think that pricey campus housing is like hidden tuition. Colleges know that their tuition prices get heavily scrutinized and published, and they know that their housing prices get less publicity (same with “course fees”). Plus, they can offer hide the price of their pricier digs by including a lower cost dorm’s prices in their Cost of Attendance page.
