For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 19, 2024

That’s John—always thinking of the bottom line. BTW, How the Duck keeps insisting that the Patterson’s are “rich”—surely they could afford the rent on that dump!

Actually, John, college room and board cost more than an apartment off campus where students share rent. Be blessed that you’re gonna save money.

Whoops, did Michael forget to tell his mother about his new housemates? ( speaking of distractions ;-) )

Exactly my question

More importantly, who is paying for it?

There’s no problem with studying in a more conducive atmosphere — at the right price.

People ALWAYS do things freely when someone else is paying.

At least first and last months of rent+the application fee

One month’s rent in that dump is probably less than John makes in one day as a dentist.

Ah, and there’s the rub!
