It’s a large reason why costs are so expensive and won’t come down until people agree that classes are the most important things.

Many people of these forums seem to have a much larger list of criteria for choosing a college beyond affordable cost for suitable academics. Indeed, these two criteria often seem like they are not the two most important criteria for many people on these forums. So there may be significant competition between colleges to offer more luxury class student experiences.

Of course, some added items (or legal requirements in some cases) may be individually inexpensive, but collectively could add up to significant expense beyond the college’s core mission of academic instruction and certification through granting degrees on completion of programs of study.
