[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can everyone just get off the high horse about housing? If you can't afford a 1-br, you get a studio, that's what people do.  I lived in a studio apartment for 5 years after completing graduate school.  That's for a professional job that required a master's degree.  [/quote]

What year did you graduate? Is it possible your experience no longer reflects the norm? I would be willing to live in a studio but nor for over a thousand dollars. I have heard that Hill interns are putting two sets of bunk beds in their studios to save money, though.[/quote]
It was in 2001 and I paid $750 for a studio in Dupont.  My salary at the time was the princely 32K. [/quote]

Wait, you made more the the nanny, ten years ago  - on top of rent being 200% cheaper. DuPont Circle studios are around $2500 per month now.[/quote]

No, Dupont Studios are not $2500 now.  A large (800-1000 SF) Dupont one bedroom goes for $2500 now.[/quote]
