[QUOTE="Lil, post: 614854, member: 17309"] No...this is off campus student housing, but not uni sanctioned. Basically, it's student only housing, exactly like a dorm: rooms in suites, cafeteria, resident assistants - the whole bit, but it's owned by a corporation, not the university. We pay the rent monthly, directly to the company. He can't ever get that. He has student loans and they are sent by the government directly to the university, which cuts him a check for anything over the price of his tuition. Last semester, he got $700 which is in my bank account. He gets very small loans because we have too much income. If he doesn't enroll, the university sends the money back to the government. I actually can't control the student loans. If he gets a refund, he gets it. I'm quite sure he'll use it to leave the state. Again, I can't control that. I'm doing well just getting through the holidays. He still hasn't taken a shower since he got here. He asked me for money yesterday. I said no. I did put some gas in his car so he and his friend could drive around a little, but no cash. Tonight he said he'd like the Game of Thrones DVD's for Christmas. We told him we're not inclined to get him anything with a monetary resale value. His response? "Well, I guess I can see that." Which was nice to hear, but doesn't solve the question of what to get him. [/QUOTE]
