The sheer number of people triggered by this comment shows just how immersed in class politics tech geeks are. It's a sad thing. Is it really so controversial that 18 year olds sometimes (not all the time) make poor financial decisions? Your experience is true for some and false for others. That's the nature of anecdotes. I moved off campus to save a couple bucks and be "independent" and "spartan" but I missed out on a lot of stuff. I could have been closer to extracurriculars, I could have joined a frat. I get that not everyone has the resources for this stuff, but many do, and we're missing out on something if they can't experience it.
