My UCLA tuition in 1981-82 was couch change, about a thousand a year, which translates to roughly $2600 today if my math is right.
Any kid working a part time McJob can handle that, yes?
Not if they're typical, most of their salary would go to paying rent.
I dunno bout chew mang, but most of my fellow students were either commuting from home or living with a minimum of three roommates, maybe four.
Rent ain't too high when you have three other roomies helping out, mang.
