> The modules are effectively ready-to-go 310-square-feet studio apartments with a bathroom, closets, a front entry area, and a main room with a kitchenette and sofa that converts to a queen-size bed. They come with flat-screen TVs and coffee makers.
Affordable my ass. They built these things to bilk young people out of more money because they know my generation and Gen Z grew up spoiled and have suburbanite parents that think nothing's too good for their son or daughter.
If I was going to university, and was serious about getting a worthwhile degree, the last thing on my mind would be TV, and why the hell would I want to blow so much money on a fancy studio that I'm going to use primarily for sleeping? I'd prefer something much more minimalist, perhaps even with community restrooms and showers. Give me a closet with a cot or even a hammock for all I care, so long as I don't have to waste even more student loan money on what's essentially nothing. Boy, we're sure spoiled these days.

but I don't know, the tv is whatever in this age of cable cutting but after sharing a dorm bathroom with 40 plus people for one 16-week semester, even if i just come home to my apartment now some nights to sleep between work/class having my own space does wonders for my mental health.
