[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something to keep in mind is whatever the housing was like for US as adults, back when we attended college, what our kids are facing is almost guaranteed to be different. Many of these schools are situated in cities with an affordable housing crises, which in turn means saying ‘Just let your snowflake sign a lease off campus so they can grow up’ is easier said than done. I’m glad you are looking ahead to see if your chosen school guarantees housing. Because although your child might want to move off campus at some point, and you might want that for them, the reality is they might not have a choice because even the residents of those cities can’t afford the rental market. And these crazy unaffordable schools should be chosen by you based on what they can offer for all 4 years, not just that first year. Good luck![/quote]

100% this. I also recommend following potential schools IG to get a glimpse of the housing and comments. For example, U of Montana looks like a low stress, affordable option. Then you read about the housing and parking shortage in the comments, look at rentals online in the area and suddenly it is much more expensive. Not even locals can afford it any longer.[/quote]
