It is noticeable that the room for two people is more expensive and bigger in size than the one-person room. Also, there are more amenities in room for two occupants compared to the single person room. It costs $350 per week to rent the student room for two people while the rate for single person room is much lower, at $200 weekly. Though both rooms share the same length of 6 meters, the one for two people has a width of 4 meters, which is 1.5 meters wider than the other.
