I was paying $300/mo rent, $50 for cable modem, and an extra say, 20-80/mo for electricity and water. had a cell phone instead of home phone, $40.. so roughly we'll say 450/mo total.. You might end up paying a bit more, this was in FL.. just depends on roommates and location.. I had 1 roommate and she owned the place.. 2 bedroom 2 bath, townhouse..

Now keep this in mind, if you don't have to for whatever reason, stay the fuck away from dorms. They're disgusting and shitty, especially ODU's.. You're paying $5500 for a fuckin 10x7 or so room with bunkbeds, and sharing a bathroom with another dorm..
