Not all of us can afford to shop at Uniform and Louis Boston for all of our clothes. On a more serious note, do you really not think that these "kids" who are paying upwards of 40k a year cannot afford to live in nicer apartments? The fact is that the cost for me to live on campus(I am in my last year at Northeastern), at it's lowest point is 1000 dollars a month to share a room in a dorm. Therefore, anything south of 1000 comes off as reasonable. Hell, even figures north of 1000 for a place that is nicer seems reasonable in exchange for more freedom and less restrictions. Since college students have the capital (sometimes in the form of easy to get loans from Sallie Mae ) to pay rents in this increasing difficult recession and most families are struggling how will this make the situation any better? The only thing that this will accomplish is to push families out of neighborhoods as college students take over their failed mortgage payments. Cute comments on the students clothing.
