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.
Naw mang, look at LA's
Craig's List: $2685 1 bdrm, $5870 3 bdrm, $6700 3 berm - those are some Iranian royalty prices!! Ain't no student working at Micky D's can afford that!
Rick, those are luxury apts in Westwood.
You DO realize that people commute to UCLA all day long, yes?
Opening up the locale gives you a range starting at around 800 or so for a 1 BR and 1 BR apts typically wind up with two or even three people (if two of them are a couple) renting it out.
Sure, if you limit your apts to "right around UCLA" you WILL pay through the nose. UCLA also has dorms, by the way.
Hollywood has apts ranging anywhere from 650 and up.
Don't like Hollywood apts? Neither do I (there are exceptions) but kids going to school ain't that picky!
