<p>Nikkiil,
I guess I must have luck in the colleges I choose to attend. Because at each of the last 3 institutions I attended (comm college, private, flagship), construction plans call for “concentration of administrative offices”. In other words, renovating administrative offices.</p>
<p>I absolutely agree that unnecessary amenities are being thrown at students. (Free laundry? What happened to Mom sending $20 roll of quarters?) However, I doubt students demanded any of it. If the students and parents ever had a vote - few projects would pass if excessive tuition increases were necessary to fund them. Rather, it’s administrators (and alumni) that are building like crazy, likely to pad their own and the college’s reputation. They’re flush with cash and not accountable to anyone.</p>
