Reading: Mike’s Home

Mike is a university student with a difference. He attends the same classes as other students and has a part-time job. He studies in the library and meets his friends in his free time. The difference? He lives in his camper!

Most university students live in one of three places: home with their families, in a dorm or in an apartment. Living at home is good if your family lives in the same city as your university. Living in a dormitory or in an apartment can be expensive. To save money, Mike chose another option.

When Mike started university last semester, he spent his money on a second-hand camper. It cost him only $500. He then spent another $200 fixing it up. It already had a bed, a small fridge and stove. However, he needed to study in it, so he installed a desk. He also added solar panels, so he could get energy from the sun. He then bought a parking pass. For students, that costs $100 a semester. Mike put the camper on his

truck and parked it in the student parking lot and he was home!

How is his home away from home? “It’s nice and quiet”, says Mike, “I grew up in a loud house. I have six brothers and sisters and we also have three dogs at home. It is a bit lonely at times, but I meet my girlfriend on the weekend and we usually go to a movie or get something to eat.” “I also play intramural sports, so that keeps me busy on weeknights. On free evenings I usually study in the library or the lab. I major in biology, so I am quite busy.”

The big question everybody asks Mike is where he goes to the bathroom. "My camper has a bathroom, but it is very small. The university has a lot of public restrooms. I always walk to one of them when I feel the urge. I also have a gym membership. It is $80 a semester for students, so it is very cheap. I shower there before class every morning and also swim in the pool four times a week!”

Mike’s lifestyle choice is not for everybody, but he isn't the only student who tries to stretch a dollar with alternative housing. How about you? Could you live somewhere less comfortable to save money?
