In retrospect, I should have just lived with my friends in the non-approved housing. (I think it was short a desk or something. I am not totally sure why it wasn't approved.) I was 21 years old, almost graduated and engaged. Surely, I was grown up enough to make my own decisions about my living environment. |

Well I would rather pay less money and have a terrible landlord than pay more money for the same situation. I have a renter since I graduated from BYU living in two different cities and 5 different apartments or houses. BYU housing was by far the worse and the most expensive.

Jay, I haven't lived in Utah since '95 but here's what I remember. I lived in a 6 man apartment in which the landlord was clearing nearly $900/mo.. After I got married and no longer required approved housing, I rented a 2 bedroom for $425/mo. It was much nicer than any of the approved apartments I lived in and, per bedroom, much cheaper. No cleaning checks etc... that were required in my approved housing.

It's a sweet situation for the property owners, that's for sure. But what's in it for the students? |
