**The analysis and comparisons are based on the following assumptions:
-
The personal space provided to a student resident by the University or a landlord is approximately 100 square feet with a similar living environment. Married-couple rooms for postgraduates are not included in the calculations as the size of such rooms exceeds the 100 square feet assumption.
-
The accommodation provided by the landlord is located near the University campus.
