You mean the house plan that doesn't have a chance?

You're also wrong, the house plan taxes the tuition waiver as income and removes the tax credit for student loan interest payments. The stipend has always been taxable income.

crazy to imagine in a big city

in a rural bigstateu college town, it is obviously doable. you can do like $600 in rent and then just live a very simple chill life of scholarship and bottom shelf alcohol.
