Then what major are you in? Sooner or later, every program will get a new building. A new building can’t benefit everyone if it’s for academic purposes. Unless you want Purdue to construct a massive building with classrooms for every major in it which would be stupid. So your saying that the new CS building and Rawls Hall are a waste of money since they don’t benefit everyone at Purdue? There would be NO improvements in any program at Purdue if they couldn’t build a new facility since it doesn’t benefit everyone.

I understand where your coming from with Owen, Wiley, and Tark but to be honest, most of my friends STILL live in Owen and Tark and they are sophomores. The location is what attracts the students and to be honest, I agree the dorms aren’t that great. You shouldn’t compare First Street Towers with other dorms since they are on a whole, new level. Hillenbrand Suites should be compared to Cary Suites. More expensive dorms like Harrison, Earhart, Shreve, and McCutcheon should be compared with each other. Cheaper dorms like Windsor, Meredith, Tark, Owen, and Wiley should be compared with each other. There should be benefits for those who pay more for their housing like Earhart. It would be unfair if EVERY dorm had the same amenities to be honest. Every other school has housing options with different price tags as well so it’s nothing new. Not everyone is forced to live in cheaper dorms cause of First Street Tower’s price tag, it’s CHOICE. I believe they still have a waiting list to live there so it doesn’t affect any new student who applied for housing on-campus.
