[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this, my friends, is why tuition is circling $50k.[/quote]

It doesn’t add up. Why are many schools able to maintain a lovely physical plant, and have great factulty and all the programming, extracurriculars, etc while others are charging the SAME price for dilapidated facilities.

Hearing that Maret’s head makes $500k could be one reason why that school looks shabby. In 5 years the school could pay him half of what he makes and put a million into needed facility upgrades. I don’t want to pay that kind of tuition for that![/quote]

First, Maret's head is a woman.  [b]Second, its facilities are not shabby.  They're not super fancy, but not shabby by any means.  It renovated its athletic facilities just last year.[/b]  [/quote]

...and almost immediately brand new things got ruined because the roof leaks when it rains. Whoops![/quote]

This pretty much perfectly describes Maret. Talks about how they have these great new facilities and how much they are investing in their students. Except, the roof leaks (because of a previous job that wasn’t monitored well), ruining the new dance studio’s floor, making the contractor put down a new one, except, because the head had to have it installed in time for the grand opening event, the new floor never had a chance to adjust to the space, so it now is warped and there are gaps in it.

Everything there is just done so half-assed. Particularly when it comes to the facilities. It all looks good at first glance, but if you look deeper you find all kinds of issues. This goes for everything from the facilities to the administration.[/quote]
