I was fortunate to have a younger sister who continued to identify as (and live as) a [student] ghetto rat long after she should have outgrown it. She lived in a crappy little house in the ghetto while I was at UF so I parked my car at her house and kept my bike there. Later, when she finally grew out of that phase of her life, I was still in grad school and TA'ing for a professor in the school of accounting. He let me park at a rental house he owned so I bought a bike rack for my car, parked at Dr. M's house and rode my bike to class.
In other words, that kid needs to make some friends in the ghetto. LOL.

He graduated 2 years ago, and referred her to a younger friend. It worked great for everyone. It did take him about 2 weeks of going door to door with references, to initially find her.
