Columbia University宿舍問題請教 - 紐約

我是哥大2013秋季班法學院的新生，我與我同學已爬文並詢問過一些哥大學長姐
關於宿舍(UAH)的選擇與價位問題。


根據非法學院學長姐們與版友的回覆，studio大約1100-1300元/月，但根據法學
院學長姐們與版友的回覆，studio大約1800-2200元/月。我自己看學校給的UAH的
網頁，studio是1881-2195元/月(Lenfest Hall)，2377-2456/月(Lionsgate)，1541
-1803/月(West 115th and 116th Streets)，1475/月(Morningside Gardens Apartments)_
(為了比價方便，僅先引studio的價格。網頁上2~3bedroom share也都高於1000元)


因為價格真的相差很大，在此把UAH的網頁說明附在下面，想請教各位: 不知道是
UAH給法學院學生的宿舍價格特別貴呢，還是我與同學有什麼誤會(例如不知道UAH
在哪裡有提供相對便宜宿舍等)。如果有哥大學長姐向UAH租過1100以下價格的宿舍
(包含2~3bedroom share)，可以麻煩您告訴我們是在哪個網頁租的與地點，房型呢?


感激不盡!!!! 一個月2000美金以上的房租實在是太令人崩潰了 >""""""<


==========================以下是UAH的網頁說明，可略=========================

(很抱歉該網頁要有學校的密碼才能點入，因此附上原說明)

*Lenfest Hall, 425 West 121st Street*

One-bedroom apartments are used to house families and, when possible,
couples; studios/efficiencies are used to house couples and, when possible,
single students. Some apartments include terraces, many offering spectacular
