Were you ever a student living in a stranger's house? While 'you have access to everything', it sometimes doesn't work like that in practice. A stranger living with a family has to put up with unwashed dishes/unavailability of kitchen, kids screaming, the man of the house watching/owning the living room after working hours (4pm/5pm to 10pm), the family having supper and cooking, etc. All of a sudden, the student is basically restricted to living in a 70 sqft room. And usually, these small rooms aren't 'proper rooms' (e.g., no ventilation, no insulation, many times no window or small window). The reason I say this is because this is exactly my situation. With the exception that I have a 9-to-5, as well. I pay $400 to share a room with someone. A room that is divided by a piece of wood. I have no window and it was built as a pretty poor annex with no A/C or heating reaching my room. I have no window either, as the other side does where my roommate is.
