<p>Oh yeah, this did happen last year as well. I know some people who gave up their contracts, but Tech didn’t offer them incentives like they do this year.</p>
<p>Anyway, overall it’s probably not cheaper to rent an apartment, but there are some exceptions. </p>
<p>If anyone was interested in my budget (which I carefully kept track of over this past year) - I believe I’m able to pay less than or close to the same at my apartment as I do in the dorms. It’s a good deal too, in my opinion. I put a lot of time/research into figuring out which was the better deal when deciding between the two after freshman year.</p>
