Seems crazy to live like that for $1200/month when you could find a few roommates and get 4 people in a 2 bedroom for about the same. Still tight, but it beats 12 people in a 2 bedroom for sure!

Folks doing bootcamps often are doing it on a shoestring budget. They can't scrape together significant deposits and proof of income needed to rent a more legit place.

And a bootcamper might need a place for 14 weeks. Hard to get a lease for that length of time.

Though I don't know why people need to live in an expensive city for a bootcamp.

I imagine the best boot camps are in tech hubs, which are usually expensive cities to live in.
