Dear Editor,
Before the semester started, I got online to pay my bill. Goldlink gave me a breakdown of payments. Tuition was around $2,000 and housing was $3,000.
If I am to pay $3,000 a term to live on campus, I expect the living conditions to be similar to the Carnegie Hotel. I would expect to have someone personally clean my room and leave an Andes mint on my pillow.
We, as residents, are customers. As a customer, I am not overly satisfied with the Office of Housing and Residence Life.
For example, I have heard some residents in Lucille Clement complain about the lack of hot water in the showers. I have even had to shower in cold water before. Some mornings, I have to flush the toilet three or four times just for the water to be at an adequate temperature.
We, as residents, pay too much money to live on campus, and we are not even supplied with enough hot water to take a shower. As of now, housing is building a new dorm. Housing is pumping so much money into building this new dorm instead of fixing the problems in the different dorms across campus.
Housing needs to realize that students pay too much money to live on campus, and they do not even supply us with adequate accommodation.
