[quote=Anonymous]Colleges vary wildly in terms of what the type of on-campus housing offered. If OP's kid's only concept of on-campus life is two men crammed into an 11 x 12 room with a communal bathroom, then of course he wouldn't want to live like that for 3 or 4 years. Encourage him to research a little more carefully and maybe he can eliminate colleges that offer prison-cell like housing for juniors and seniors. Many will have apartments or at least suites with single bedrooms and semi-private bathroom, but some won't. There is nothing inherently wrong with valuing a comfortable living space. My DS's school had very basic dorms and lame on-campus apartments (two to a tiny bedroom and furnished with dorm furniture) so he moved into a cheap off-campus apartment. He didn't enjoy sleeping on a rickety old twin bed 5 feet off the ground (his room was so small he had to keep his desk under it) and now he doesn't have to. [/quote]
