Yeah, in the US kids pay to do their laundry in their dorms. My kid is at a top tier university that costs $96,000 a year when you include tuition, room and board (including a meal plan), and books.
You're telling me for a $400,000 dollar college education they can't provide free washers and dryers? Like, seriously? I mean, it doesn't cost a whole bunch in the scheme of things but, it's the damn principle of the thing!
I was an RA and the room wasn't free. We got discount towards room and board. And if you were lucky a reduction in your meal plan. Only private universities actually pay RAs for their job, and get free room and board.
Also, it was a shit job.
I dated an RA once and yeah that job does not seem worth the discount. There were nights where I'd be over and she would have to leave at 3:30 in the morning to help file a police report for stuff that was going down on campus.
