today i pulled out my drawer n i saw the receipt and the grumbling just started again...
i remember clearly that raise in the fees were during the inflation period when the economy is doing well. prices rise and maintenance fees rise as well. so the fees rise..
now that the economy is in depression as declared by the prime minister, will the fees be adjusted? as an econ student, prices don't adjust quickly to market changes. so i understand that point. but i thought perhaps the student body will push for it to be adjusted soon. or at least ask for an explanation.
i m not that particular abt the rise. i mean if it is worth the money, i will pay for it. the problem is the way the school runs is exactly like a business. u can't raise the fees just because demand exceed supply and the price isn't at equilibrium point yet. u r handling school matters. u r dealing with students. students are people who have yet to work and earn their pennies. so why should charge so much till u got an annual turnover?
ok.. if u use my money and turn it into some ways that benefit us again.. then it is alright. but so far, i didn't see any major improvements in hall or the welfare of the students. they always working within LIMITED or lacking in funds. i have not heard that any hall communities got any excess funds or budget. students like us have to end up paying for welfare funds.
so on top of that.. all the blah blah funds which i will pay no matter what.. will actually push the cost of staying in hall till close to 2k.
well that s i m grumbling. hall experience is wonderful but it shouldn't come at the expense of having me to pay thousands for it.
