It might be cool to have a basement to throw mediocre parties in, but the euphoria will end quickly. In addition, one student, who gets sick or something, at your new place could easily cost you more than $30,000. A better investment would be to throw parties and events at other establishments that would share some of your risks with your organization. You will probably make more money for the undergrads right now, and then you can wait around for something prime in your area. Look in the long term.

OK, first of all, the "establishments" that are closest to his school aren't going to shut down for the night just for a mixer. As for open parties, there's no way they could throw one at a bar. It would be a complete trainwreck and also, would attract more nonstudents than students.

GLOs ARE allowed at the university...I'm not sure where you got the idea they aren't, unless you mean houses. Houses are not allowed on the campus because the campus is very close to the city and there would be no room for them. Houses aren't allowed on MANY MANY MANY MANY campuses in this state, but it doesn't mean they don't exist...it means they are off campus.

He's not doing this for "status" or "a basement to throw parties" but to have an alternative to renting houses and getting screwed up the butt by the landlords who so like to do so to college students around here.
