No doubt. Everything is more expensive.
I go to UCSD campus often enough. I don’t know what they eat. But Price Center is crowded and many students are dressed better/more expensive than me and have lots of gizmos I don’t have.[/quote]
The Price Center has a nice food court.
Universities now have food courts like at the shopping mall. It wasn’t the case when I was a student. Food service is definitely better and more expensive.
Students also dress better than in the past. Kids now start wearing premium clothing early on.[/quote]
totally true. And nice clothing isn’t necessary. We don’t know how many of those with premium clothes and iphones have students loans and how many don’t – but there seem to be the majority of them. Maybe those with nice clothes do eat top ramen because those are their priorities. So it’s hard to prove one way or the other, who is doing what, but in general student life seems better and more expensive and more people are enjoying better clothes/electronics etc. than when I was in college 20 years ago.
