You Could Always Transfer To The University Of Phoenix

Some colleges have dorm rooms for everyone. Some don't. And in some cases, like at Berkeley, when there's no on-campus housing provided to upperclassmen, they have to find their own places. But what happens when the rental market means that even with a lot of roommates, students can't afford the rents anywhere near the campus? It means long commutes. And that kind of gets in the way of the college experience, being able to be around campus all the time, with access to the library and athletic facilities and just hanging with friends at any time. You can't do that if you're facing a 45 minute slog on the BART train, or a half hour on the freeway. (San Francisco Chronicle)
