A calculator for parents weighing student rent against buying near campus.
Students rarely live alone, and off-campus housing is usually a handful of families coordinating together. Campus Equity compares what that group spends on a premium student apartment against buying a home near campus instead — any college town, with the math shown behind every number and three different paths at graduation (hold it, sell it, or rent it out). I built it after noticing how much rent a few families can spend on housing that none of them ever keep.
