    Being the Macho Man that you are im guessing your apartment is like $100 a month, the upstairs of a crack house?

    I really wouldnt have thought gainsville would be a bad place. I picture it more hick/ agricultural and since theres a huge university there i figured it wasnt so bad. And to think you suggested i transfer there before?!?!?!?

    Mike, I still think you should transfer! The University of Florida not only provides you with a fine education, but also teaches you how dodge bullets and drive your vehicle out of the "danger zone" during a coordinated ambush on 13th Ave...

    OP, as you've no doubt noticed from the other responses, telling your location as your state only is not specific enough to get any kind of price accuracy. The basic thing is this: if you're in/near a major metro area, prices will be higher than if you're rural, and the closer to the center of the metro area you get (or closer to major colleges), the higher the cost. You're just going to have to do some research about what your area is like...

    Sure you don't got that backwards? Figured you'd have to pay extra for ghetto ambiance.

    We have rented two apartments and one house here in Iowa all for $450-470 a month. All in safe neighborhoods as well. Now our mortgage is barely more than our rent used to be. It all depends on what area of the country you live in. Our house is in a small Iowa town with 3 bedrooms, not a big house by any means, but if it were in the city 20 miles from us the mortgage would easily be close to $1,000. Check apartment and rental house prices in the area you want to live, if you don't mind driving, look farther out. It's cheaper for me to drive than to live in the city I work in.
