One reason I haven't been willing to send donations to either of the 2 universities of which I am an alum, is the screaming cost of tuition and the overbuilding/exhorbitant upgrades-replacement of still functional residential facilities as they existed back in my day. I don't agree that they have to keep up with the Jones (other schools) to attract students with frills and frippery, just adds to the tuition cost. We had one group bathroom per wing on each floor, rooms uniformly double occupancy, small rooms with desk, twin bed and closet per person. Paired floor assistants each wing, shared larger room each wing, priviledge due to responsibility. They assigned rooms and wing occupancy predominantly based on chosen fields of study, similar or related among the assignees, not whether people actually knew each other already. I had friends who got married during their campus years, lived in married student housing, I set foot in a couple of them. Not my cup of tea, former military housing so I was told, nothing fancy, very poorly insulated, northern wintery climate. Plain jane cafeteria served basic menu each night and lunch, no hamburger/fast food menus. If you didn't like what was on offer on a given night, go get some fast food at Taco Johns across from campus. Done in 4 years undergrad, no loans or grants, no messing around then out in working world to get experience and perspective. 2022-04-30 20:50:22
