I think that was just a rumor. None of his neighbors said anything about roommates

Very few grad students have roomates unless they want to..they are older and spend serious hours studying and do not want the drama.

It was brought up where he got all his money. Many if not most grad students are employees of the uni aka teaching assistants to the undergrad students or have other paid duties at one time or another.

Exactly. Until recently he had a job in the research lab at the medical school. And he had a NIH grant. These types of grants often pay for more than just books and tuition; they often include stipends for housing and living expenses and are periodically paid out in lump sums. It wasn’t as if he was concerned about paying back his unused grant money after he dropped out of the program just last month. Along with a few credit cards which credit card companies love to offer to college students, along with some careful budgeting and planning, he could have easily had enough money to purchase what he did over the last three months or so.
