[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not middle class - middle class kids in this area aren't having large bedrooms with a private bath.  You are wealthy.  Time for them to live in the real world.[/quote]

Oh stop. Plenty of homes in my older neighborhood have this set up for kids and they are not mansions by any stretch. Mine doesn't but lots of my neighbors do. [/quote]

And, what are your homes worth.  You aren't middle class.  Lets be real.  You aren't living pay check to pay heck and can afford an expensive college.

[b]Middle class homes in this area are 800-1400 or so square feet.  We have 1000 square feet.  We have one bathroom for everyone.   [/quote][/b]

Yup i live in MoCo with my daughter in a SFH.  It is 900 sq ft. with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. It is absolutely perfect. I make about 70K. [/quote]

Exactly. OP and some of the other PPs are woefully out of touch. No, most MC kids do not grow up with a bathroom all to themselves. And didn't you all have roommates and communal (or at least shared) bathrooms in college? This coddling is weird. Good thing your kid isn't in the military. [/quote]

Not the same thing at all. My family lives in Bethesda in a tiny house. We share a bathroom between 4 people. It is absolutely not a crappy place, despite its small size. We keep it cozy and clean, and the layout is ultra efficient. We have very good insulation, the A/C and heat work well.

The dorm room OP describes has an exceedingly poor layout and no A/C.

Stop pretending it's merely about square footage. Layout plays an outsize role, as do cleanliness in common areas and air conditioning/heat.

It's common knowledge that some older dorms are terrible. It shouldn't have to be that way! Why is this a step too far for some posters to acknowledge? Just because it's college, no one should ever put up with that sort of living situation at that price point! If it wasn't college, none of you would be defending this.

You've got to admit when you're wrong, people. This is a no-brainer.

Most of those dorms have been there since our parents went to school there.  How is this a surprise?[/quote]
