[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm totally fine with criticizing those schools with mold and water damage. It's the "well if you don't want Larlo to live in a dump, he can attend a school with country club dorms" argument that seems like a big red herring.[/quote]
How is it a red herring? When I was in college, we had rats in our dorm and students were in near tenement conditions now thinking about it, but we were young and didn't really care. Being too boujie for an elite school is stupid.[/quote]

And my kids don't go to elite schools. If they could get in then the last thing I would be concerned about is gross dorms.[/quote]

Well, my kid does attend an elite school, and I'm pissed off that his mandatory dorms have both been shabby dumps, the mandatory meal plan ranges from brown-bag lunch to revolting and (3) he can't opt out of either.  For all 4 years.

My preferred option, not allowed:  he attends this elite school, soaks in the academics, lives off campus in tidy studio eating healthful, fresh food of his choosing - - - - > for less than $25k a year room+board bill. [/quote]

No idea what school this is but DC is at an elite and loves the food, had no mold, no mice and no roaches in their specific room. Neighbors had roaches because they left food out. And 25k room and board is way more than this ivy. There are very old buildings, it is one of the oldest four: kid loves it.[/quote]
