<p>Good points, HoosierMom. But just for the record, a BU student told my son last week that kids who share apartments usually pay $650/month, which is a considerable savings over what a lot of places charge for a dorm room. </p>
<p>Somebody posted about a student at Tisch whose parents bought her a lovely brownstone to live in during her years in NYC, and the student invited her friends to share it for a nominal fee. Wonder if that ever happens in North Carolina, lol?</p>
