We have one complex here (i think it is owned by college park) where you get free membership to a local golf course (which is a pretty big deal).
Freshman year I lived in the oldest dorm. Originally it had sections A-F (i think) but when I moved there all sections other than A had been condeemed and torn down. My room was essentially a cinderblock cell with a desk and a sink.
Sophomore year I lived in the ghetto (at least ghetto for Clemson). $250/mnth for a 9x14 room. The complex had no amenities what so ever. The sink dripped, the toliets stopped up, the washer and dryer broke, etc.
But I wouldn't trade living those two places for the world! It was FUN. We didn't have to worry about damaging stuff. Spill beer on the carpet... no problem, it blended in with the multiple stains already there. Accidently kick through the wall (um, yeah this really happened)... no problem, just tell the landlord the hole was there when you moved in.
Then I transferred schools and had to live at home.
