But is it a common thing nowadays? It definitely wasn't at any time I was in college and not anecdotally with friends I have (many of whom spent many, many years in academia), but maybe things have changed. It wouldn't surprise me if given the economy and costs of living if it was cheaper to do so.

But I'm only a few years older than that and could not possibly imagine how weird and uncomfortable it would be to live in a dorm, with a bunch of 18-25 year olds.
