Why do so many students live off campus?

We send the kid to college to learn, not to learn supermarket shopping, food preparation or cooking. The time wasted on those activities could be used to socialize, study or any other betterment. If the GPA is affected by living off campus, the 250k investment weigh much more than savings on food.

This is exactly the argument we used to convince our son to stay in the dorm. We also reminded him of the cockroaches he had to deal with in the apartment he stayed last summer. (It was in one of the nicer looking buildings near 51st & University.)</p>
