Mom shitting her pants since my kid committed to a short term job in western Mass that starts in mid June with no place to live or car. So much for that overpriced liberal arts education and problem solving. I'm just kinda spectating on the sideline. I have a decent lead on a car but leaving the housing to the kid.

My son went to Holy Cross in Worcester and still has friends in the area, I'll ask him if he knows of anything. Maybe the student housing people at Holy Cross or Bentley or Clark would have student housing open in the summer? Couldn't hurt to call.
edit: he actually just walked through here and said he didn't know of anything but said he'll ask around. He said that at Holy Cross all the student housing is done on full-year leases and most of it sits empty all summer and that subletting should be available and cheap but he didn't know how to find it. He suggested the student housing people too, and also maybe facebook.

Yeah. I'm beginning to question spending lots of $ on higher education. A good friend who flunked out of college once, and for who I pretended to be a doctor and wrote a letter to help him get back in, and then who spent the next semester flunking out for the 2nd time, now owns a business with $500 million in annual sales.
The same one he started with a van and 2 Mexican guys he used to pick up at the train station every morning. You don't have to be a genius with a college degree, you just have to have balls (or ovaries I guess), a good work ethic and a bit of luck."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Is Bennington still in business? Last I recall they were trying to pawn the place off on an ususpecting private HS. Which I think fell through in a grand manner when they figured out how much is was going to cost to put a new roof on each building.
I mentioned half seriously as we are doing the college search now, that perhaps he go learn a trade after HS--I think the electrical trade would be the one I would look into--work for a bit in it and then we give him the $250K we would have spent on college so he can start a business and start ripping people off. My wife gave me the "Oh, but he needs a degree today" bit, and I wasn't in the mood for an argument.
But back on topic. I heard the lobster rolls are good in Maine. I would try to find a place that sells good lobster rolls."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

as I post shit on a skier forum trying to help find a car and place to live for my soon to be college grad............................ I do wish I had some of that Wellesley tuition money in my wallet as I drive around in my 17 year old minivan with 200K miles. Definitely hard to fully let go.

Start there.
As to college - depends on the person. College etc.? Whole different thread and ball of wax.
