Emerson College in Boston, Mass., has made it clear: students may not sublet their dorm rooms on the vacation rental site AirBnB. Sophomore Jack Worth, 19, had listed his room, and said it helped recoup some of his college expenses. “Room and board prices are very expensive,” he said, but when college officials found out about the listing, they ordered Worth to delete it.
