change how colleges can over charge on meal plans and dorm cleaning charges per student.

Created by M.C. on November 30, 2013

I was shocked to find out that some colleges are charging 400% mark up on food items in their meal plans. A "Lunchable" costs $1.97 at the local stores and the colege is charging $7.99. This is only on item the list goes on. This particular college charges each student extra fees for dorm cleaning. Their reasoning was some students were drinking in excess and getting sick in the dorms so every student gets charged. You as a parent might want to look into charges and the clever wording used in the billing department.
