He lives with parents and only pays for utilities, no rent, so he spends $1200 a month on flights instead of $2000 or $2500 on rent.
Yeah that's the only way I could see this working.
I'm surprised he makes it to class on time, my flights are rarely on time when I fly anymore.
Yeah, but calgary is way Cheaper than Vancouver even if he had to pay rent.
- spending half your day commuting
- pretending living at home and having your own apartment are comparable
- taking a very light course load
...priceless
Or you could just go to university in Calgary or somewhere more affordable?
He only needed one more year to get his degree
