<p>While I agree that Boston U dorms are expensive, it is not ridiculous compared to finding an apartment close enough to campus that you can walk to classes. My daughter is moving into a teeny tiny studio next semester, and it will be $1300/month. That’s more than my mortgage 20 years ago! She will be sharing the studio, so it will be kind of like a dorm room that has a small kitchen and bathroom. She won’t require a car, and can walk to a T quickly to go further into Boston, but there is a price to pay for living in that part of Boston.</p>
