[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see both sides. Universities have been on a wild spending spree- [b]lazy rivers in dorms, every kid gets their own room and bathroom, cleaning ladies for dorms[/b], massive gyms for regular students to work out in.

My best memories in college were spent in a triple (to the horror of current college students). It was so much fun that we all requested triples the next year too. College can be fun even if colleges spent less money on luxe facilities.

That being said- I love how Americans go off to college. My European friends all either lived at home or they lived in a big city and rented an appt near their university. It sounded totally different than my experience.

My maga in-laws biggest gripe is the massive endowments of these universities who are still accepting federal funds. I really can’t speak to that, but it gets brought up again and again.

Oh and to the person up thread AC is not a luxury. [/quote]

[b]Which colleges have this?[/b] We've toured a bunch and all are triple/doubles with shared bathrooms, have to clean bathrooms themselves for most part, and zero lazy rivers. Also, many dorms in southern CA at prestigious colleges with zero AC.[/quote]

Apparently mostly 'MAGA country' colleges such as LSU, Mizzou, Texas Tech, Univ of Iowa, UCF, Univ of North FL,..............not to mention the most comfort/luxe dorms and facilities usually found in places that won't be affected by fed funding cuts such as Liberty and High Point.[/quote]
