[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other big difference is that Canadian colleges don’t believe it is a main responsibility to house or feed students. They do provide options for both, but for hosing nothing that comes close to housing even a fairly small percentage of students. I gather it would be far easier for US schools to expand if it was made abundantly clear that student housing just isn’t their problem.[/quote] It's not even just housing--US universities are like their own towns with medical care, psychological care, activities, police, convenience stores, multiple food outlets in addition to dining halls, major sports teams , multiple concert halls, research facilities, business incubators etc. It's a big part of the US higher education experience, why it costs so much, and why it's been attractive internationally. For better and for worse, in many ways it's an entirely different enterprise than many international colleges and universities.[/quote]
