Like @Brooks Rembert said, learning from somebody who's already gone through the process and survived a few cycles is worth the price of admission.

Since literally 2/3 of your post is correcting me on a vernacular issue that I only mentioned as an allusion to something that I was stating as incorrect in my circle, I guess I'm sort of left to suppose that you just want to talk about how you know things.Now, you can simply doubt the veracity of my "faux pas" admission if you want, but as it's a forum and all we have are our words, that effectively puts an end to any meaningful interaction. 

Anyone who has gone to college has gained a life time of memories, which is worth the price of admission by itself.

While you're there i'd swing by the college and see if you can get any numbers from the admissions department (student population, those living on campus, growth, age, etc.).

The event is definitely worth the price of admission, especially if you are new. 

I want to say the admission is $20 per person but it would be well worth it.

Even if it was, by your own admission, they didn't even fulfill the terms of the e-mail.

@Michael Goldsmith  To be clear, I'm offering hard facts, not rhetoric.My point is simply to say that Zillow's numbers - by their own admission - are so inaccurate as to be useless for decision making. 

From a legal standpoint, jurisdictions vary widely in their laws - search for the thread about NJ and audio/video cameras last month for a taste - so I won't get into the weeds whether the OP is in a "one party" or "two party" state with regards to surveillance.By her own admission, the OP is already suffering the fallout from the other tenant from her overstepping bounds and making them uncomfortable in their own home. 

But whatever... if that's the price of admission to allow me to build a new home in Somerville where I couldn't before then so be it.
