This also avoids the situations where it truly was not any of the roommates that made the call, but a random friend/acquaintance/girlfriend/boyfriend.

Read up and then research young adults! (A skill you shall be honing in college, no doubt!) The least expensive school for me at the time of undergrad was the private school. I would have spent much more money going to a SUNY school. My undergrad school did not make me max out my stafford loans like the state school would have. I was in the top 5% of my high school class but there were no perks for it in my state. Perhaps the affordability of a state school depends on the state you're from? My college's meal plan was very expensive. I was able to get off of it my senior year, and I saved $3000 without getting fat. No chump change there.. a big deal!
