Hahah, I love how back to school sales ads set up future college students up for disappointment once they get a real taste of dorm life. 10x10 overpriced prison room with inadequate outlets and a room mate are only the half of it. Wait until they see the shared bathrooms (and discover that almost EVERY dorm has a jerk who sh*ts in one of the shower stalls).
Thank gawd when I was college bound I went with a friend to preview the dorms. Eww, no thanks. I was able to get a my own room in an apartment down the street that was three times as large, with its own bathtub, shower, and toilet that I didn't have to share with anybody and had more than 2 electrical outlets for $200 less a month. Plus I had space for my consoles, games, and even a shelf for my dinosaurs (yes, I admit it...I have plastic dinosaurs. And I am over age 10. No, they don't get me hot).
