I have a roommate right now, we’re in a 2 bedroom apartment paying $430 each a month. Don’t know if that’s a good deal or not, but all utilities are included with that. My room is pretty small so I don’t know if I’d be able to fit another person in my room, but I will see if I could find someone and make arrangements from there. I’m not sure if people are still looking into the second month of school but it’s worth a try.

Strangely enough, cable & internet is $1 more than just internet. Its $54.99 for internet alone, but $55.99 for the bundle. We only had internet in the apartment last year since we had no TV, and were planning on the same this year but went for the bundle. The prices are kinda ridiculous compared to the company back at home but unfortunately they’re the cheaper company out of the 2 here.

My cell phone is the cheapest plan on Verizon and it’s a really old phone. No texting plan, either. I switched to Verizon because it’s really the only service provider that gets signal in buildings/dining halls on campus and at most apartment complexes.

What is the issue with borrowing more from an unsub loan?
