<p>the dorms are pretty expensive, over 10k for next year.</p>
<p>how do the smaller, private colleges manage to make them more spacious and half the price?</p>
<p>I don't know, but it might just be that the city of Berkeley is terribly expensive. Property cost more to buy and maintain here than it idoes in, say, palo alto.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee has great dorm rooms at about $4000 a year. Why? It is Lexington, VA.</p>
<p>UCLA has expensive housing as well (because it is Westwood).</p>
<p>Georgetown's housing is expensive becaues it is in the city of Georgetown.</p>
<p>Get the trend?</p>
<p>Oh, right. Location. Too bad I grew up in the Bay Area =\ and know this place already.</p>
<p>because our tuition is cheap</p>
<p>are you sure its not $4000 a semester</p>
<p>its 5.5k per semester for double, and even 6k+ for single per semester.</p>
