[quote=Anonymous]I started college in 1990. My dorm roommate called one of her father’s secretaries and dictated her papers to her instead of typing them out. Her father yenes a very successful company. She also was in charge of buying and shipping her things so my dorm mate wouldn’t have to go to the store and buy things like shampoo, etc. Her mom regularly sent her new clothes and when they came to visit every other weekend they took her laundry home so their maid could wash and iron her clothes and her dry cleaning could be done.

When I was in grad school a classmates parents bought him a condo next to the school so he wouldn’t have to deal with having to rent. He was able to sublet rooms to his classmates. It seemed like financially it was a really good investment because his patents also bought a condo they could stay in when they visited in the same complex. I thought this was awful because it meant a student wasn’t able to live there or anyone from the community. I imagine this is one of the reasons why rental properties in that town were so expensive.
