Live like a president—back when that president was a struggling student in college. The tiny two-bedroom apartment President Barack Obama once shared with another student while at Columbia is now renting for $2,300 a month, a couple hundred bucks less than its previous $2,500 a month listing price.

The quaint home located in a rental building at 142 West 109th Street comes with an old photo of the prez standing in the doorway, and according to the listing, living here could be the road to political greatness: “who knows you might end up at the WHITE HOUSE one day!”

The home is pretty simple and meets a college student’s no frills needs. Two bedrooms (one without a window), a marble bath, hardwood floors, exposed brick, high ceilings, and good closet space are some of the features.
