Tilo is planning to live off-campus in an apartment when he starts college in the fall. However, he has an unrealistic idea of what he can afford, as the apartment he describes - with an extra bedroom, washer, dryer, and parking - would be very expensive. Laura tells Tilo he needs a "reality check" because such an apartment would cost a lot of money. In the end, Tilo decides to live at home with his parents for his first year of college to save money.
