 In my small college town, a 4 bedroom house can be split among 4 people for approximately $300/mo AFTER utilities.

Gas/Insurance/Car can be done for $250/mont.

Health insurance either needs to be offered through the employer at less than 9.5% of pay ($167 per month) or you will qualify for federal subsidies.

A 4 bedroom house for $1200 per month AFTER utilities?  When was this?  Before or after the housing market crash? 

Your insurance alone is going to be nearly $250 per month now.

Like I told DonFerrari, buying power even from just 8 years ago is way lower.

Yes, you'd qualify for tax credits but you still have to pay the monthly rate.  You aren't charged just 9.5% or less of monthly household income.

Approximately 2012-2014. It really hasn't adjusted at all lately. If anything it has gotten cheaper because attendance to the college is much lower the last couple of years and they are desperate to fill the housing near campus lately.
