House far far away

    Today, I helped a senior member of NPRE package and move to his new Home. He lived on campus before, but now his new home resides far away from campus. It's an apartment near a park  in downtown Champaign. I found his apartment cozy and spacious. Meanwhile, the rent is cheap. So, housing far far away really has higher living quality. No wonder people dislike to live in city, but try to move to suburban  once they have enough money to buy a house and support the cost, including insurance, of cars. 

    And yeah...... the most important thing is car. Without a car, you are disable to go anywhere in US. Perhaps one can take a bus though, it's suffering to wait for a bus in freezing winter. Since the rent of house or apartment off campus is much cheaper, the money saved can compensate the extra expense like gas, insurance, rent for parking lot and maintenance. 

    In conclusion, let me have  a driver's license and enough money to buy a car as soon as possible. And then, let's live far far away.
