Eat another cookie, dude. You're making the rest of us feel fat.
I just did, over half of them are already gone.
They claimed it would cost 80 million dollars or something ridiculous like that to keep the apartments up. 80 million sounds like could just buy new apartments, but I think that's the number they used. It didn't make any sense at all and lots of people were angry about it. Apparently the apartments violated fire codes and other codes because they're so old. It would be more beneficial for them to tear them down. They also shut down many other dorms on campus, further limiting living space on campus.
