You’re competing with other students whose parents can pay for everything... That was the scariest [part] of looking for housing, that landlords won’t choose me because I’m on financial aid and other students can pay $1,000 upfront like it’s nothing.
I remember being shocked to see how many groups of undergrads were with their parents...we overheard the parents basically bribing the landlords. One guy’s mom offered to pay the whole year’s rent up front. [My housemates and I] are standing there with our applications like, ‘We can’t compete against that.’ We spent all this time on these applications and stood in this line for an hour and we have to do it all over again tomorrow, and the next day.
