Question: My dorm room is tiny and I have to share it. Why does it cost so much?
Answer: Depending on where you go to school, you may find that off-campus apartments provide a lot more space for the money. However, do the math carefully. When you take the rent of an apartment and add cable, electricity, gas, internet hookup, and other utilities, you may find that the residence hall isn’t that expensive after all.
