Really Really Expensive

It's Palo Alto. Apartments are hard to come by and very expensive. There is a reason almost everybody lives on campus

Pricy, but Can Be Fun

Palo Alto is definitely not a college town. It's very expensive and everything closes early. Most students head there to celebrate birthdays or have a "nice" gathering with friends, but by the time you're a sophomore you would rather make the trip to San Francisco.
