Why Dorms Are So Nice Now

Full price at my son’s school is something around $75k/yr. I imagine parents wouldn’t be too thrilled to pay that for their child to live in a dump. Son’s FY dorm is old, but still nice. No AC in rooms, ugly tile floor, communal bathroom. But there’s laundry in the building, everything was very clean and in new or nearly new condition. And there’s AC in the adjoining 24 hr study/rec lounge. I did have to Prime him a pkg of 12 foosballs. They were using ping pong balls, which apparently made playing extremely “interesting”!! LOL
