Remember me? I'm the LOC employee (living on campus). Before covid, I was able to live full time at UG for 1 year without being detected! Of that, and due to holidays. I only had to spent 12 nights in a nearby hotel. Being in my 20's, I saved a fortune.
Now I've been doing the same at Rahway for 1 month straight by manipulating my badge. Internet, wifi, food, gym/shower, food, and more, I'm covered!
At night I sleep in a 10 x 10 space hidden in a false wall. This is also where I keep extra food, clothes, towels, etc. When they built this facility, extra crevices were carved out for future hvac expansion, it's like another hidden world!
So enjoy your commute, mortgage, and other bills.
