A little advice for those with kids planning to live on West Campus. All of these high rises with "amenities" that they will come to you in the fall, frantically telling you that you have to act fast, are a rip off. The condos of our past still exist and are plenty nice. Also, you can wait until spring. West Campus is overloaded with inventory. By late April, you can negotiate. And guess what, there are plenty of amenities at this nearby school called UT-Austin, which is just a short walk away. No offense intended for anyone who's forking out the dough for their kid to live in such luxury (and someone should totally sublease the place from @Cabowabo for the summer). But when I was told it would be an extra $50 per month for a room with a window, I balked. We have a friend who is paying $1,600 per month for one of these places. Our son has a 2/2 condo with a friend of his and is paying just a little over half that amount including parking. Alas, he will not have 24-7 access to a golf simulator.
