<p>I too wanted my son to stay on campus for sophomore year, especially if his sister goes there next year (she’s still deciding), but now I’m open to exploring off campus options after doing a bit of analysis and realizing that we’d save nearly $3k for the year. I think AUGirl has pointed that out in the past too. Plus, he’s looking with 3 other guys (all freshman)- one of which is another guy (one of the few) in the nursing program with him. There’s always support in numbers!</p>
<p>^ scmom12 - thanks for the heads up on applying for housing going on now I would have never known that was happening otherwise! Since that deadline is Dec. 3rd, it makes sense now that my son said most are trying to get a lease signed by the end of this month (Nov.). So my question on that is- can we work both plans for now? - Meaning can I apply now for on campus housing for him, then if we learn in Jan. that he gets it, do we have a time frame to think about it and turn it down if he opts for off campus housing? Or is he committed to it simply because he applied?</p>
