School that I went to also has been on a building spree for the past 20 years. I'm sure a lot of the spending is necessary, but seeing things like mega-gyms and amphitheaters being built with student tuition is ridiculous.
The irony is no one will ever be able to afford a gym membership as nice as the gym they had in college because they're too loaded with debt from said college.
- cableshaft 10y agoSame here. My college has a 30 year master plan on their website, and it's basically knocking down every single building and rebuilding them. They've already knocked down several buildings and what they've replaced them with has been at least twice as big. The gym they built about seven years ago is huge, and fancier than just about every commercial gym in the city. But.....that being said, I have heard that they lost over half of their government subsidies (it's a private school), and the state has been perpetually 6 months behind on those subsidy payments, so that's at least part of the reason for the tuition increase also.
