Howdy Y'all,
Sorry is this is the wrong place but I think it is?
Backstory: I'm a broke college student who needs housing while I'm away from home at college. The only problem I'm having right now is I don't have a for sure for next year. I'm trying to become an RA for my college and that would cover all of my dorm costs. If I don't become an RA i would have to either; stay in the dorm or get an apartment.
Here's the prices of everything:
Dorm Cost per semester(2 semesters=1 Year): 6,936 x 2= 13,572$ total
Apartment Cost per month: [635 + (electric bill ~60)] x 10= 6950$ (without buying food)
I plan on getting a job this semester and getting a job for this next semester as well as a job for next year.
So it would seem like the apartment cost is less just overall. The only problem is that I that I only have 800$ in the bank. If I go the dorm route than I take out school loans that pay for it except that i have to pay those all back later after I graduate. I would like to sign the lease for the apartment as soon as possible, but I have to wait to find out if I become an RA before I do anything.
What can/should I do?
