My son's dorm "apartment" is 600 sq feet for 4 people. There's 2 bedrooms with dressers, closets, desks and bunk beds. They share a bathroom and washer/dryer. It was almost standing room only in their rooms. However I like that. It forces socialization. I just wish it wasn't about $6k a year. His other option is a 11" x 15" shared room with a shared living room and bathroom, no washer dryer for $5k.

We're not excited here. There seems like to much to do. We dropped down our co-ops to half day. My son is excited to see his friends but not for school. We ordered all of his books we'll get then this Friday. We're not starting until the 13th. This semester he's doing Drawing I, exploring media tools, Interactive web media tools and Client side javascript at the local CC. At home he's doing trig., Maya, game development. and putting together a portfolio. He also has to put in 100 hrs. community service. I don't know where that's going to fit. oh and he has to finish driver's ed. I don't want to over load him. He needs the drawing and maya for his game animation portfolio and he needs his game development classes for his game programming portfolio. He needs his portfolio's done by next July to start applying for colleges. It's all just too much
