I didn’t do the dorm thing – it was cheaper to have an apartment off campus.

UCSD has more apartments for students now – a friend is starting b-school at night at UCSD – he’s getting his own room in an apartment, on campus, for $453/month. It’s cheaper than what he was paying a few blocks away in UTC for a room in a shared, non campus, apartment.

The meal plan at a dorm is over-rated… College should be about subsisting on ramen, mac-n-cheese, and quesadillas. LOL.
