I'm currently living with 2 other people in a 3-bedroom apt for $800/month at U. of Illinois.

$267.67/month for me. (well, it'll probably be over $300 if you add in utilities+cable)

You?

$1,400 for a 3 month semester, includes furnishings (including dishwasher and washer/dryer), all utilities, central air, cleaning at the end of the semester, internet, cable (w/ HBO and whatnot), gated parking and razor wire fences (I go to school in Flint, MI), 2 security guards patrolling at night, and is right across the street from the campus.

Living off campus in a house would cost like half as much, but they get broken into all the time and I like feeling safe.

edit: this is per person for a 5 bedroom apartment

$600/month for a very nice 1 bedroom apartment, shared with my GF, so I pay $300/month plus half of the utilities (cable, internet, and electricity).

She's a student, I already graduated.

when i was in college, i paid $192 of $1600 in a 3 bedroom apartment/townhouse. There were four people including me. I took the loft and shared it with the laundry machines.. It was nice.

625 for rent for my half of a 2 br/1 ba just north of San Jose, CA. Reasonable, considering I have friends paying upwards of 800-950 for 1 room.

you might want to ask people what school they are going to as well

for me, it was $475 a month plus util for a crappy small half basement room with furniture that looks like they were dumpster-dived

SUNY Stony Brook, NY.

I'm in subsidized housing for the school. 1600 for the apartment split 4 ways (2 rooms) including utilities and EVERYTHING(fast net connection!).

Surround area varies from 1600-2000 for 2 BR WITHOUT utlities. I was going to live in a ~1900 dollar apartment that would come out to be about 2100 after everything (I would have gotten the fastest internet possible hence leaving a good 200 for utilities a month...lag causes me to melt)

$990/mo for a 2 br. Add on bills and it's about $1100/mo. I split it with a roommate, and that's damn cheap for this area.
