<p>Hmm… so I guess it might be better to wait until junior year to move into my brother’s house. In my opinion, the meal plans at BU are simply ridiculously overpriced -$12 or $13 per meal, many of which I sometimes do not have the time for. Plus the dorms can be kinda cruddy for the amount that we pay… Also - I have been warned that living off campus has a negative effect on the total amount of grant money that you are offered. If so, how much?</p>
