If you will be working in Columbia I would probably just live there, commuting from Baltimore will be a big pain. Certainly Dundalk makes no sense at all. Although not exactly bustling there are some urban amenities and plenty of housing choices. You will be close to baltimore and dc for weekend fun stuff.

Most of the places for rent in Columbia that I’m finding are like 1200 or more monthly. I’m in the process of trying to save and go back to school so I’m trying to save as much as possible

yeah, rent is $$$ everywhere- but commuting can be a big cost too- especially from Dundalk or other parts of East Baltimore- you would have to go through the tunnel ($) or drive through town which could take forever. You could look in western baltimore county- arbutus/catonsville not sure it would be much cheaper though-

I know rent is positively ridiculous. I got some good leads from the helpful people of Reddit so far I’ve got a few showings that aren’t inner city but are cheap too. Thanks!
