The housing is $500 a month, and three months are "included" in the Pro Course, but not the VA Pro Course. Mike's wife manages the houses, and there are four streets of 3BD/2BA/1Garage houses in the 12th St. SW, Vero Beach area. There are also apartments leased to Mike at The Pines of Vero. The houses are about 15 minutes from the beach, 15 minutes from school (KFPR), 5 minutes from a food store (Publix), 8 minutes from the
gym and the nearest P.O. Box (ZIP 32965), 20 minutes to the mall.
Those are the facts. Here are some opinions.
The good: Furnished (minimally), TV's with HBO in every room (Sopranos Premier tonight!), other students around, all utilities paid, and washer/dryer/microwave. No pets, no smoking. Gym membership is only $20/month.
The bad: Boring location, no high-speed internet (with 3 guys sharing), no mail delivery at the house, shared bathroom for two unlucky guys, no women around, periodic no-notice "inspections" by management. One driveway for three cars means two on the front-yard grass, tile floors, no maid service provided. 45 minutes to decent night life (West Palm).
Overall, the housing isn't too bad, and is a good place to start if you're looking for a better place to live. You can get a decent place on the beach for not much more than you pay here, and there's much more to do out on the sand. If you're looking into other options,
TC Palm is a great resource. Questions?
