hmm..just wondering..to those ppl that don't live in dorm or moved out..how much are you guys paying for your monthly apartment/house rent? Do u share a room or have it your own?...I have my own room this year but i feel kinda bad cause i should have save money and have a roommate and recently $$$ became an issue cause i'm short school fund ...erghh but i had bad experience from last year with mine roommate at dorm and there was so little privacy so my own room sounds much better. What would you prefer?

[felinius]

I prefer living by myself in an apartment ... rates are 999$/mo by myself with all utilities paid for. It's a really nice studio, lol.

I hated the dorms with no privacy, no personal bathroom, and a messy room-mate.

1700 dollars a month in a studio. Excluding electricity/water. Yes living by yourself rules!
The cost of living is all about location, location, location!
I suggest you live with a roomie if your short on funds, just find someone who is clean.

Last year, the 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment I stayed at was $1275. (splitting with another person would be 637.50/month) Not bad for the price right??
But this only included garbage, sewage, and water. It was also far from campus so I had to spend $350 on a parking permit, plus all that driving and rush-hour traffic. $50/bi-weekly on groceries. $60/month on comcast. $30/month for PGE.

It definitely adds up.

I'm so glad I'm back home for my last year of school.

about $800 utilities included and fully furnished. i have a roommate.
it's also close to campus so i usually take the shuttle to school instead of my car

It's at times like these I feel that the US is really expensive.
(though I now get why you get paid so much)

I live in the Netherlands and I pay 320 euro p/m all-in, so 450 dollar p/m I think... (It's actually 420, but the government gives me 100 euro's back as I'm a poor student.)
But I live in a small one room appartment/studio of 30m2. It is in one of the big cities here though.

Would you mind telling me how big your house is, because your places sounds so expensive.

[tofu plushie]

$475 a month including utilities. I am suppose to have roommate but she moved out and I have been living in the apartment by myself for 3 quarters just paying my half of the rent, which has been awesome^^

[FunPhax]

I'm moving in with a friend in an apartment this week... I think it's going to be $875 split including utilities.

[hehateme]

i don't pay any rent. Im living in a duplex that my dad owns.

[miika]

I'm renting a room -- 360$ a month utilities included (:

Groceries are hecka expensive thooo T__T
50$ a week? lol

[w00tah]

paying interest on rent is never a smart investment

[deadgiveaway]

I'll be paying $690/month for my own bedroom and bathroom, in a furnished 4 bed/4 bath apartment. Utilities are included and parking is free. The place is pretty close to school, it's walking distance plus there's a shuttle that stops right in front of the complex.

Dorming was nice, I think it's good for the first year, but I really want more freedom and my own room.

[GetM0tivated]

Are you guys working full time while taking classes to pay for the rent? My best friend and I are currently looking for a one bedroom or a studio to share; cheaper that way. We're looking at 500 each.

[RiA]

will be sharing a furnished 1-bedroom apartment w/ 2 other people, around $550 each utilities included. i'm moving in this weekend, hopefully i'll like it
