More like 65k if you don’t live on campus and find something cheaper but also that is an insane amount to be paying.

In comparison, some schools in Canada over 4 years don’t even cost that much

Living off campus in Boston within commuting distance of BU… going to be at least $1k per month assuming you have 5 roommates.

Eh, there are some pretty cheap places in Allston and Brighton. Last spring I had a place for $700 (although it was a whole house rented w some of my classmates)

Is that $700 per person or for the whole house? Trying to determine what you mean by cheap.

Almost certainly per-person. There is nothing in Boston that can be rented for $700 short of a broom closet and that might still fetch $1000.

You mean there are some sketchy places with rats living with you and addicts next door.
