<p>My son is a senior and actually has quite a few friends who still live in the dorms. Being a little, shall we say, “laid back”, he dropped the ball on his housing contract (didn’t get things taken care of on time) during his sophomore year and was offered supplemental housing. He decided to move off campus, which has been fine. His current apartment-mates are splitting up at the end of this year and he and another friend are currently looking for housing for next year. He’s not worried about it and neither am I; they’ll find something. There are still plenty of “renting for fall” signs up around. (His rent is about half what his brother pays in the Boston area.)</p>
