Have you done any thinking about hard mode? Getting trapped in a 'deep' pattern (?ight: e, f, l, m, n, r, s, t, w) too soon seems like a problem. But this is way outside my bailiwick.

I'm not sure where this idea comes from, but it's wholly false, at least at the myriad of colleges I've worked with, and generally true in urban settings [0]. Housing is often a loss for the university (hence the explosion of PPP to try and recoup those losses). Instead, especially at places like UCSB, it's landlords in the area that are a large financial burden for students. At my last university, rental occupancy within a 5 mile radius was at 98%, which exerts a huge upwards pressure on rent. Students were BEGGING for more housing, because campus housing was on-par or lower than the area, and comes with many other benefits related to travel and campus resources. Furthermore, college housing often provides a 9 or 10 month lease option, which can save a lot of money over an annual lease.
Additionally, there is regular evidence [1][2] that living on campus helps with retention rates, which is critical to avoiding the 'spending money, never getting the credential' problem plaguing higher ed. In this light, even if campus housing were somewhat more expensive, the benefit in completion could easily outweigh those costs.
Munger looks terrible, but there's a HIGH demand and LOW supply for housing at UCSB, and at urban colleges in general. It's not a cash cow for many, if any, campuses. Certainly not public ones.
0: "'When you look at the metros that have exceptionally high cost of living expenses like New York, Boston and San Francisco, there has been research done that those areas can be significantly cheaper for a student to live on campus,' says Amy Glynn, vice president of financial aid and community initiatives at CampusLogic, a firm that advises higher education institutions."

"Go is famously a more complex game than chess, with its larger board, longer games, and many more pieces. Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence team likes to say that there are more possible Go boards than atoms in the known universe, but that vastly understates the computational problem. There are about 10^170 board positions in Go, and only 10^80 atoms in the universe. That means that if there were as many parallel universes as there are atoms in our universe (!), then the total number of atoms in all those universes combined would be close to the possibilities on a single Go board."

I can't imagine it's being done illegally regularly. It would be way to easy to identify by stream behavior.
For what it's worth, you should consider locking not on attempt to log in, but on successful login from abroad. This was an old problem in some Windows networks: accounts would be locked with 5 failed logins. People discovered they could lock out friends' accounts (or ahem the president's) by failing a login 5 times.
(P.S. If anyone's looking for a great way to waste more time than they should, Path of Exile is a pretty great game.)
Aerostat meant anything that hung in the air. This was an easy trick to pull off
nowadays. Nanotech materials were stronger. Computers were infinitesimal. Power
supplies were much more potent. It was almost difficult not to build things
that were lighter than air. . . .
Given that it was so easy to make things that would float in air, it was not
much of a stretch to add an air turbine. This was nothing more than a small
propeller, or series of them, mounted in a tubular foramen wrought through
the body of the aerostat, drawing in air at one end and forcing it out the other
to generate thrust. A device built with several thrusters pointed along
different axes could remain in one position, or indeed navigate through space.
Each aerostat in the dog pod grid was a mirror-surfaced, aerodynamic teardrop
just wide enough, at its widest part, to have contained a pingpong ball. These
pods were programmed to hang in space in a hexagonal grid pattern, about ten
centimeters apart near the ground (close enough to stop a dog but not a cat,
hence "dog pods") and spaced wider as they got higher. In this fashion a hemi-
spherical dome was limned around the sacrosanct airspace of the New Atlantis
Clave. When wind gusted, the pods all swung into it like weathervanes, and the
grid deformed for a bit as the pods were shoved around; but all of them even-
tually worked their way back into place, swimming upstream like minnows, pro-
pelling the air turbines. The 'bines made a thin hissing noise, like a razor
blade cutting air, that, when multiplied by the number of pods within earshot,
engendered a not altogether cheerful ambience. Enough wrestling with the wind,
and a pod's battery would run down. Then it would swim over and nuzzle its
neighbor. The two would mate in midair, like dragonflies, and the weaker would
take power from the stronger. The system included larger aerostats called nurse
drones that would cruise around dumping large amounts of power into randomly
selected pods all over the grid, which would then distribute it to their neigh-
bors. If a pod thought it was having mechanical trouble, it would send out a
message, and a fresh pod would fly out from the Royal Security installation be-
neath Source Victoria and relieve it so that it could fly home to be decompiled.

I would probably click "yes" if it's < $5.
Not for every FB 'friend', but there's a 'sufficiently close' threshold where, yes, I'd click that button. Even better if it's day-of fulfillment. And I bet I'm not alone.
And of course how could they call it the FIRST Battle of Bull Run when there hadn't been a SECOND ONE YET?
For what it's worth, if there were an app that helped me know WTF to do when it comes to building muscle tone/size, I'd happily pay for that. To an averagely fit guy (5.5 miles in 60 minutes or so, 2-3 times a week), the weights side of thing is infinitely more complex than the cardio side of things (which amounts to "keep your heart rate within this range for a long time").
