Could be argued, if his family weren't rich, he probably wouldn't live close to a private university to begin with. Also, he went to a private school that had a computer for him to use.

> Could be argued, if his family weren't rich, he probably wouldn't live close to a private university to begin with. That's a bizarre claim. College towns nearly universally offer some of the most affordable housing and high quality standards of living in the US. They tend to have far lower crime rates than US cities, and radically cheaper housing. Paul Allen came from a middle-class background and went to the same Lakeside private school that Gates did.
