My kid pays $1300 + utilities for a cockroach infested dump in Charleston.
That yours stayed in the dorm 2nd year is pretty cool.
I think it’s more like - hey parents, check out the four year housing situation (including surrounds) vs. saying this school is so different than others.
If one chooses to move off campus - that’s not the school’s responsibilty.
But it is fair to understand four year housing up front - and so I would warn parents on that end.
Do you have experience at U Maine or CU that you know they are any different?
