So is it $1,260 per kid or split between 2?

PER kid. It's a racket. Most apartments in the area have separate leases.

Good grief! Maybe UMD is not the bargain I thought it was!

PP. 4 bedroom will be cheaper. There are other options, but for the shiny new high rises, this is typical. Hoping he was going to do the school apts under private mgmt referenced by another poster, but no such luck.
