<p>Icarus, actually, my rent is more expensive than that currently. I honestly wouldn't want to live in Westwood for many reasons. I've got dogs, so I'm going to have to find a house somewhere. Westwood seems too noisey so my Law School and Med School friends tell me, but I'm sure it's perfect for some people. Basically, it's about quality of life...either 1200 a month for a tiny room? or 1800 a month for a large house.....it's relative.</p>
<p>And I'm a bit of a foodie, so I can make meals much better than what you'll find at the dining halls for pennies. I mean how much are meal plans anyway? 400? 500? a month? Do you know how much you can buy with that? lol And utilities on a tiny room are really negligible.</p>
<p>I'm just saying that these halls look spectacular, but if I had to choose on-campus, I think I'd go for a plaza. They seem more private, which is always nice.</p>
