Nice, I enjoyed that, though it reinforces my fear that students today are WAY too spoiled! Think I'll look into Berea College for my son...
I disagree a bit, LB. I think the Berea approach sounds interesting, and the luxury dorms are excessive and less conducive to study, but the point about justifying the cost of education is the most compelling. The astronomical increase in tuition, not to mention room and board, over the past two decades more than offsets the trend toward luxurious accommodations. Schools would do well to scale back their housing, but more importantly, reign in the cost of education. It's hard to call someone spoiled who will spend the next 20 years paying back bills to their alma mater.
