<p>NotRichEno, at some schools, definitely a profit center. I just checked the rates for one I know- lowest option double room almost $3500per student/per semester. That’s includes the crappy, crappy dorm and next slice up. Full meal plan about $4500. Crappy food, too. The top choice room option is 12k/year but the kid either gets a private bedroom or has an arrangement all to himself. You don’t think it’s effective to go off campus?</p>
