Commute or rent?
I've recently landed an internship with a company ~30 mins north of Baltimore.
I have family that's 75miles away(150mi total commute) Driving the Benz at 20mpg and $3/gal that comes to $450 per month. At $5/gal that's $750/month. Motorcycle(If I'm brave enough) would be $150-$300/month. Now If I was to rent a room with strangers in the town of the job I'd be looking at $400-$500 rent plus utilities/food/etc. Decisions, decisions....

Buy an inexpensive RV and live in it.

Rent a room. You might do better on the price if you are not going to be around on weekends. You could post a want ad at a local community college bulletin board stating what you are looking for.

That was my Dad's solution
The renting a room would be cheaper, and the motorcycle is probably out of the question. I'd be scared even if I was on a crotch rocket

Rent. I'm sure you can find some Johns Hopkins students to room with. They'll be way too busy to be a pain in the a**.
If you'd prefer a bit of excitement from your roommates, look for a couple MICA students (MD Inst. Coll. of art).

It rains and snows in Baltimore. Get's cold too. Forget the bike.
