Why would you expect your university to provide dorms for you? This whole living on campus thing on Anglo universities was always weird to me. You'd only expect perks like that if you pay thousands of dollars a semester.
Also Re:"Medical care": That's what universal health care is for.
- brianwawok 10y ago> Why would you expect your university to provide dorms for you Traditionally, you go to school hundreds or thousands of miles away from your family. You need someplace to stay, no? Growing up in a city and you will have much more options to "live at home" > That's what universal health care is for The US does not have universal health care. So not sure what you are saying, how could a university not charge for something that is required and not provided elsewhere?

- brianwawok 10y agoThe university gives students access to cheaper housing than they could find on their own. Not sure how that is any different from say, providing electricity for the classrooms. You need both electricity and a place to sleep to attend school no? > Well, there's your problem Sure, but that isn't going to change anytime soon. Just giving up on any problem because "whelp, no universal healthcare" is not a productive way to live life.
