One friend recently had her roof completely fall in over her shower during a rainstorm and the landlord was trying to force her to stay and pay out the rest of the lease. It's like a lot of other things now, income inequality is absolutely out of control. For every college student that gets to live in a dorm with a podcast studio, there's another three living in a dilapidated house.
It should be obvious there's a problem when the "affordable" units are asking $1100 per month. Get real, the only students that have that kind of money to throw down either have parents with the money to spare, or they are selling drugs.

It is not a recommendation that any student attending GSU MUST live on campus. GSU was a predominately commuter school before the school embarked on a campaign to reinvent the university and transform it into a more tradition university. Hence, all of the student housing littered amongst the sprawling urban campus.
It seems that you can only image low-income students living in high-rise campus housing as drug dealers. What an asinine assumption to make. Maybe many of them have acquired students loans to live amongst the wealthy? Unlike some people who have their parents bribe the college with thousands of dollars like those high profile USC parents out in Cali.
P.S. Critical Race Theory is so important so Caucasians (like yourself) can identify "coded" racist bullshit when it's stinking up the place.
