For a cage that size you're going to have to spend some $$$$$$$. That size from from Animal Plastics is $640.

honestly, for something that large, your cheapest option would be to get a piece of furniture used and modify it, or make a build from scratch. it will take some elbow grease, but it would be the most cost-effective.

And for the closest Vision cage V632 (Size: 72" W x 36" D x 18" H) it's $625 and you'll have to add shipping - I think the Vision allows for one light fixtures on top.

The Vision would be lighter weight.

I actually have the 6 footer from Boamasters. It holds temps/humidity (2 -90 watt RBI heat pannels on a herpstat) well but the owner Mark can be either hit or miss. I usually place an order & pick it up personally at the Hamburg Pa show to save on shipping. I have a few 4 footers & they worked out good, my 6' looked like it may have bounced around a little in the truck with a few scratch on the back corners. They didnt hurt the structure, can't be seen, & the price was decent. Even though my experience has been good I heard both good & bad about the enclosure but also seen that he usually works out any problems with anyone who is unhappy. The biggest problem I noticed in BIO post is he seems a little un-organized & is not great with communication all methods. I'm not to sure where your located but if ordering & picking up at a show where I can over look things I would do it business with him again but only on enclosures.

Also just a FYI the melamine are really heavy & the 6 footer is deep & a pain to reach all the way in the back of at times when cleaning depending how high off the floor you keep it. I have an extra 4 foot in a stack & think evenually rather then buying another 6 footer I may just cut a hole in the bottom of one, top of another, & frame a little path to connect the two since my reptile room isn't the biggest. 2 of the 4 footers cost the same as a 6 footer & since you mentioned college I'm thinking you might not have the extra space like me so figured I would throw out that idea too.
