I don't understand the stigam of living in trailers in college. I lived in an apartment, due to proximity to campus, but always wanted the space you got with a trailer.
Now if you're living in one after college things have gone wrong.
Sorry for replying rationaly to a DD flame.

Its outside the city limits.

I loved living in Ridgewood. Was able to keep my dogs there, and you could have as many keg parties as you wanted without the neighbors calling the cops.

How far is it from Campus?
They have the trailers priced cheap, like way cheap for even a used trailer, good way to establish and build some credit while going to school, but there has to be a catch like paying rent on the lot or something as it sounds like too good of a deal to be true.

The trailer was much better. Lower rent. More space. No noisy arse neighbors. Great for my dog. No police called. Awesome in the spring/fall time.

Finally, one of you admits to living there.
I would have, it looks like a badass set up while in college, better than the dorms or an apartment for the the reasons you mention, cheaper than renting a house and having to have 3-4 other people splitting it with you.

You still pay lot rent every month. As far as the price of them, that place is old as hell and I'd imagine after 20 years of college kids living in them, they're probably nasty as hell. Won't be too much longer til that place sells the land and they throw up a massive apartment complex. There is a fraction today of places like that, compared to when I was there 13 years ago.

Trailer park keg parties were the best because typically it became a block party. For one of those odds and ends college jobs i worked maintinance at a smaller park. Come monday i knew work woudl be hell fixing all the broke shite.

I'm not ashamed in any way to admit living there. I loved it. I lived in a brand new apartment complex in '99 my freshman year, and chose to move into a trailer. There is a huge difference between trailer living in college, and trailer living at 30 years old. Some of the best parties were held out there.

There isn't anything like that around Fayetteville, you have to go to one of the smaller towns further south and you are looking at a half hour commute back and forth to campus.
Honestly Trailer parks are quite rare around here, they were more common when I was growing up, there is still trailers here or there but not "parks" like there was, most have been replaced by small homes complexes, duplex/triplex communities, some of which you have to qualify for government assistance to be able to live in them.

You will have to remember the city of Auburn is tiny. Auburn has probably doubled in size in the last 10 years. Auburn is in the middle of the country on 3 sides and the fourth side is another small town

I didn't say there was anything to be ashamed of, actually quite the opposite, I would have done it if it was available, instead I rented a house and had more room mates than I would have liked. Moving back home with my parents would have been more "enjoyable" after the second year.
Its the "nu-huh" trailers don't exist round here, that I find humorous.

I dont think anyone will deny it. Like many have said lots of fun happens around there. I just said, there werent any inside the city limits

I don't see living in a college trailer as being any different than living in some shitty college house that's 60 years old with a couch on the front porch. At the end of the day, the place serves a purpose to host parties.

Fayetteville use to be "small" as well as Springdale, Bentonville, Rogers, etc. Since all the growth in the last 25 years or so, the "development" projects has a lot to do with the lack of trailer parks and the like, I'm sure as other industrial necessities are having to be camouflaged, the city is having huge gas pipe lines relocated and hidden so you can tell where the joints stick out of the ground, sort of, communication towers look like fake trees, shite like that.
So I'm sure there is a code against trailers and that would explain the small duplexes and apartments where the park use to be.
