Not a dorm, but a residual effect this has is, landlords that rent in student areas charge outrageous security deposits because they know they never have to give them back. So rentals in student areas are in a perpetual state of disrepair. It actually pays landlords to have them trash up their living spaces. The whole area suffers.

Yup. And the kids don't care that apartments cost 1800 a month and have no drywall because "its a party house im not paying" . God the housing here fucking sucks and no one can do anything about it.

They also know that 10 people can come up with 300 a month, each So that is 3000.00 rent for a house that would get 1200.00 or so in normal situations. The more they pack in there, the more they can make. Definitely needs more monitoring.
