YEP. There was a story on the Indianapolis news, about how my town(Bloomington) has become a mecca of Deluxe, luxery, apartments, FOR STUDENTS! Our downtown landscape has completely changed in the last 5-7 years. Big, deluxe apt buildings everywhere! I know $1500/month might be nothing in New York City.....but that's alot of money in Bloomington! I can't believe that there are THAT MANY parents, who are willing to shell out that kind of dough! Spoiled indeed.

(I was so poor, that I had to live in a "rooming house", where the others would steal your food out of the community fridge! Thank god that place burned down! ).
