[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"But at least the kids get country club level amenities and tons of admins make 6 figure salaries. Interest rates have been rising due to the central bank, so students taking out loans to pay for this disaster will be kneecapped for even longer. Such a terrible ROI."

The most expensive elite schools/most selective schools do not offer country club amenities. I went to HSYP and lived in an actual mobile home village they set up on campus. My frosh dorm was made of cinderblocks and had those windows that swing out as the only source of fresh air. No AC. Very simple cafeteria food.

Old schools old buildings.
No, there is no central air conditioning at the Columbia dorms.  The new-ish Barnard dorm does feature it.
The old McKim Mead White buildings are beautiful outside but poky to live in.
There are a few dorms on campus with painted cinderblock interior built pre-1990.

The clerical unions at these colleges are strong, and the number of admins is ridiculous.
Yale has more administrative staff and faculty than students.[/quote]
