Broke College costs money. Sometimes, pocket money or change has to keep a student going for a month or more — until the paycheck or money from home gets delivered. The extras in a college student’s life take a lot of money, too.

THE SAVAGE Apartment life Apartment life is one of the things students dream about as they make their move from home to college. The “pit” (as a lot of the places are known affectionate- ly) takes on the personality of the occupants and their friends. Decorating the home becomes almost as im- portant as getting around to studying.

The resi- dent students depend upon them to get them out of Du- rant. Cars are a bit of a sta- tus symbol — from the modified ’Vette to the old clunker with 20 kinds of paint holding the rust to- gether. Books piled to the ceiling, clothes scattered across the room, alarms standing next to stereo equipment — this is dorm life. Students shar- ing bathrooms or bedrooms for the first time find the activities a bit trying at first as they rush in for a quick shower five minutes before class begins and finds a roommate beating them to the hot water.
