[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a ninny OP. Hopefully, your kid is smarter than you. You must be financially illiterate. Do you really want your kid to take on a lease + expenses that a roommate bails on? I am a professor + countless students have come to my office crying that their roommates left them holding the bag on a lease.[/quote]

This is exactly what happened to one of my kids.  Four guys in a house, one of them decides not to come back to school.  He refused to pay his share of the lease (that he had signed).  We could have taken him/his parents to court, but no one wanted to go through all of that so we split that kid's rent between the remaining three and paid it that way.  I was so furious, but there was really nothing we could do.  I wish our son had decided to remain on campus.  [/quote]

I have not read this whole thread, but are you guys freaking kidding me with this?  Back when I was a jr/sr room and board was pushing 20K at my university, meanwhile i lived off campus in a crappy neighborhood with multiple housemates for a little over $250 per month (rent + utilities) and whatever the cost of ramen, pasta, and frozen vegetables works out to be.

I’m not sure what your problem is, but you clearly have one.  Welcome to the 21st century.[/quote]

Is everyone made of money on the 21st century?  [/quote]
