The use of the word “rent” was what confused me. Normally, dorm costs would be described as “housing,” though I suppose some could use “rent” for that.

As I mentioned earlier, I find it useful to consider hypotheticals when I am trying to decide an issue of principle–which is what Pizzagirl is trying to do, I think. Maybe it’s the frustrated philosopher in me. Whether it moves the conversation forward or not depends on the philosophical/purely pragmatic orientation of the participants. I take it that you are purely pragmatic, thumper1. That’s fine. I am not going to say that pragmatists just shut the conversation down.
