LOLOLOL
I've been accepted for a while but kind of stayed away from SDN and only posted on my school's thread because I kind of got turned away from SDN about a year ago but I'm slowly making a comeback haha
Haha yeah...I got turned off a lot from SDN after I made this thread out of good intention but it totally backfired. So I just wanted to focus on myself this year and the Texas threadsI missed you...

Welcome! We require a meme as tribute. Rules are rules.
UTRGV... That awkward moment when a school randomly becomes your first choice... I pre-matched and decided early that's where I wanted to be... you?Haha yeah...I got turned off a lot from SDN after I made this thread out of good intention but it totally backfired. So I just wanted to focus on myself this year and the Texas threads

Also as I feel like I am derailing the thread here is a gif of what it feels like when I realize I'm derailing a thread as penance...

Not a current student, but $650 a month is reasonable to avoid the hassle personally. My rent a month is most likely going to be $700-800 a month plus utilities and I'm not too worried. Granted, I also don't have much of a choice because rent is just expensive in general at where I am going.This may be a question more geared toward current students, but to those of you who will be paying for everything via loans (i.e. you don't have much available in savings to help supplement your expenses), how much of it are you planning on spending on rent? I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as it goes for housing... The school I'm going to is in a very new and upcoming area, so there aren't a ton of housing options available. My only two "good" options left is to start paying rent in June to reserve the apartment even though I wont be moving in until August, but the other option won't be done until the middle-end of September and would require temporary housing for that time period, potentially meaning I would sleep in the living room of a 2BR while my two roommates get each room until our 3BR is done. The first option would be about $150 more per month for rent (~$650+utilities) while the second option would be about $500 plus utilities. Given that I will be getting about $24K in living expenses aid, does it seem feesible to go with the more expensive option and not worry about all that hassle? I just genuinely don't know what to expect budgeting wise, how much rent is reasonable, etc.

Well it will be about $2000 for a 3BR plus utilities so that is obviously the reason why the per person breakdown isn't so bad. I'm not necessarily worried about the cost of the rent per se, rather just the percentage of the loan money I will have to set aside for living expenses.

Haha yeah it's over $4700 for the three of usLololol but @walloobi also means 1500-1700 per person - take the 650 and run, you'll be fine! Just mock up a budget and make sure you aren't wildly exceeding the COL allowance, which I doubt you will be.
I guess one thing I'm worried about is that I genuinely have very little savings at all due to some recent familial hardships and just plain bad luck with unexpected expenses coming out of nowhere. I do drive a very efficient vehicle and the COM is less than 5-6 minutes away from either apartment, so that is no worry, it's just that I don't know where I'm going to come up with the extra $2K to pay for the deposits, fees, and two months of rent before our loans get dispersed. Assuming I live there for the first 2 years at least, it would be a difference of over $3-3.5K for more or less the exact same apartment (they are going to be sister properties so very similar in construction).

2k? There's over 2 months left before August, get a part time job and don't spend like a lunatic and you'll be fine.it's just that I don't know where I'm going to come up with the extra $2K to pay for the deposits, fees, and two months of rent before our loans get dispersed.

I currently work about 50 hours a week paying rent, utilities, food etc. while I'm also trying to save for a new car due to my current one costing more to repair and operate than it is even worth. Again, this is not a problem with spending and saving, but rather just a double dose of bad luck and a big financial crunch that I certainly didn't see coming.
Ohhh my bad. I didn't realize you were already working. Maybe see if you could pick up some hours at a second job?

Throw in the fact that one of my parents is going through cancer treatment and not working at the time, there isn't much "help" I can ask for either.
Or toradol. It's not like he'll use it anyway.It's simple. Start selling crack
welcome and congrats to you!!!!!!!!
Hi guys! Adding to the cat presence on this thread
WOOOOO!!! welcome welcomeHi guys! Adding to the cat presence on this thread
Haha honestly, I think toradol is a godsend. As a former college baseball player, toradol is the only thing that let me be able to perform every day with a torn labrum, degenerative cartilage in my knee, on and on and on. Unfortunately my stomach and liver probably don't appreciate that I was willing to abuse them in a trade off to be able to still compete, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do. Without a doubt, the analgesic effects of toradol far outweigh those of norcos, at least in my experience. Once you start getting the D though, that isn't the case anymore lolOr toradol.

IKR? I was looking at rent prices at this one school I was accepted at and I'd be able to find a 1 bd for $600, and I would split that with my SO. That cheapness is so ridiculous to me since I've only lived (and will continue to live) in big expensive cities.
