How much student housing costs in Baltimore
Baltimore is a rowhouse city: most student housing is a 2–4 bedroom house or apartment rented as a whole, which is why the per-bedroom price matters more than the sticker rent. UMBC students tend to look in Arbutus, Catonsville and Halethorpe; downtown campuses pull toward Mount Vernon, Federal Hill, Fells Point and Canton. Right now a 4-bedroom splits to about $800 per person, against $1,400 for a 1-bedroom on your own.
