POLL: worth the move?

[Corporate Thug]

ok, so here is the deal: my school doesnt have traditional on campus housing so i live a block from school but they do have a 30 story skyscrapper also about a block away thats used for housing and school offices

current situation: 400 sq ft studio, no utilites paid by the management and i am paying $950 a month

Potential move: into the one bedroom in the skyscrapper for $1015 (650 sq ft), all utlities paid for

However, the KICKER is that i will be moving in 2 months to LA to work for the FTC. And i would have to pay $500 month to store my crap in the high rise for the summer although i think i CAN find a storage unit

Here are pros and cons for each:

Current place:
PRO
furnish
already here and settled
dont need to move furniture in the summer

CONS
Smaller
no school kids around

New place:
PLUSES
more students (better social interaction)
a lot bigger
same prices considering utilities
better chance of getting the same place or similar at the start of next year

CONS:
gotta buy and store furniture (not so bad since i have to do it for next year anyway)
pain in the butt to move (but only a block away)
only there for 2 months

Moving in 2 months = suck it up & stay put ... not even worth considering.

the thing is if it wait, there is no gurantee that the place will remain open

I'd still say because your going to be moving to LA in roughly 8 short weeks that its just not worth the hassle... if you were just debating the move I'd say go for it because it sounds like a better deal & a nicer place to live, but you won't even have time to unpack & settle in before it'll be time to leave again.

I voted move. The main reason being that you mention your chances of getting the same place next year greatly increase.
