We were very disappointed a year ago when our DC was placed into a double with 2 roommates because the school was overenrolled. He had to sleep on the upper bund bed closer to the ceiling light. No air conditioning. We paid $80K for a LAC in NE.

We could have a fridge but no microwave. We all secretly had the forbidden little hotpots for making soup and noodles.

Well, the fool here is you.

Your state college flagship is just as good and less than half the price.

I wouldn't hire you to manage my money.

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.

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.

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

You knew this when you choose the $80K a year fancy LAC.

Most of the replies on this thread are bonkers.

Just because you lived through it, it doesn't mean it's right, especially at today's exorbitant prices, which, corrected for inflation, are STILL much more expensive than what your college experience cost.

Also, you are all laboring under the delusion that because you had to do it, everyone else has to do it. No. This is how we get generational injustices and discrimination, mostly aimed at women and minorities. To extend this line of thinking to a commercial enterprise is sheer madness.
