    I agree, I did the returning student thing some years back, when married. Nothing like the unencumbered adventure.

    Mic,

    Have you tried one of the smaller bedroom communities such as Story City, Nevada, or maybe as far out as Colo or Huxley?

    I did look into the communities around Ames too, but by they time I figured in Gas, wear and tear, parking, and other costs, it came out to about the same...

    I got a place that is $675/mth plus utilities, but I get internet and cable free, and the CyRide bus stop is right out the door (I can ride the buses in Ames for free)....I move in August 1st or maybe a few days earlier...its not a nice big place like my place in Hospers (or as cheap) but I do like it overall.....
