<p>Lergnom, are you saying that you think StuVi2 will reduce the number of BU students seeking off campus housing? Probably you do mean it will reduce the on campus housing crunch so as to make more attractive housing available across the board, on campus…</p>
<p>When I look at the map, the parts of Boston where students could live looks so small…and, considering the number of schools in the area, I figure, “Low supply, high demand = very high rents.”</p>
<p>IamWandering, are you saying that <em>nothing</em> is available under $750 per month per student, even if, say, four of them share, and double up in the bedrooms in the apt?? I did look at the few listings that are on BU’s off campus site, and they do seem high, but the folks posting those listings seem to have pretty high standards too.</p>
<p>I guess I do need to follow Lergnom’s advice and consult a realtor’s listings.</p>
<p>I don’t expect off campus living to be cheaper, and I know it is about freedom. I just don’t want it to be outrageously more expensive.</p>
<p>My son now has a potential off campus roommate for next year who seems like a relatively organized and together person and who says, “It can be cheaper, if you do it right.”</p>
