Student Doesn’t Want To Pay for College Dorm, So He Builds His Own For Much Cheaper

For anyone that’s in college or has kids there, you know that campuses these days are far less about learning than they are about filling students’ heads with left-wing propaganda and finding creative ways of pumping their wallets dry.

Every year, tuition increases multiple times over the rate of inflation, with administrators making every excuse imaginable for why it happens. Unfortunately, most students just have to bite the bullet, as there’s simply no way around the nickel and diming. However, one college student from Jacksonville, Florida has taken it upon himself to make his education both more affordable and peaceful.

As reported at the Daily Mail, Bradley, a student at a local college, decided to opt out of the on-campus housing lottery that sees you pay ridiculous money and potentially get paired with incompatible roommates, and built his own tiny home.

For about $14,000, he built himself a 230-square-foot home so he could live a debt-free college lifestyle.

“It started off more financial than anything,” Bradley, who posted his home-building progress on his YouTube channel Living Big In A Tiny House, said of his project.

“Right out of high school I went and paid a year’s worth of rent and decided that wasn’t for me. So I moved back home to save some money and pay for it all in cash to build it. My family thought it was never going to happen until I took home a 27-foot-long flatbed trailer, and then they started to ask more questions and understood this is something I’m actually going to try and do.“

Bradley says he plans on using the money he saves and the subsequent amount he gets from selling it in the future to buy a full-sized home without getting tied down by debt.

Bradley calls the tiny home Rolling Quarters, a play on words relating to the fact that his home is on wheels, but also hinting at the saving of money.

“It’s kind of a two-fold meaning,” he explained. I thought about it for a long time, playing with a bunch of different puns, to name it and decided on Rolling Quarters. Obviously, it’s living quarters and it rolls.

‘The other thing is rolling quarters is like saving money. So, the whole idea was to pay for everything in cash and go against the societal flow of financing things.’

“I love it so far,” he said. “Every time I pull up at night to my house there’s a smile on my face because I built that and that’s where I’m staying.“

Bradley’s good sense and work ethic already puts him leagues ahead of many of his classmates. Hopefully, his money-saving strategy works out in the long run, as not going into debt for college these days is a fantastic way to start off one’s professional career.
