[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]these rich m’fers are going to make college even more expensive for everyone.

just stop. if Larla cannot possibly live in the dorms then let her transfer or buy her a condo. [/quote]

Kids who have their own bedrooms in a modest 1960's constructed townhouse or SFH on a quarter acre of land in the suburbs aren't necessarily "rich m'fers."[/quote]

The assumptions - so many assumptions. [/quote]

What assumptions? That your child is SO FRAGILE that they can’t handle a very typical freshman dorm experience? My god. Do you even listen to yourselves? What message are you giving your kids?[/quote]

OP’s kid is fine. OP is the one who is disappointed in the room. 
[/quote]
If OP is paying $80k per year for crappy dorm rooms, I would also not be happy.  Imagine paying for first class plane tickets and getting economy class legroom.[/quote]

It's interesting. I am paying 80k+ for my kids' school but I don't really care how nice or not nice the living situation is. It is just not what I am paying for. I am paying for the education, experience, connections, etc. I actually care more about the food quality than the dorm quality. I think it is ok for the kids to be humbled some.[/quote]

What's the house like you live in? Would you be ok sharing a bedroom with a stranger?[/quote]

I thought this was about crappy dorms, not having a roommate. Nice dorms have roommates too - sometimes 2. If your kid doesn't want a roommate then there are other options and that is a different conversation altogether.[/quote]
