It’s a symbol how much money the school has made from students

[@stepuncle7637]

Probaly from endowment. tuition can’t cover somewhere like that

[@josephlee2469]

@@stepuncle7637 ahhh... Someone who pays $85k yearly, they sure can. 32k students * 85k each year…

[@stepuncle7637]

@@josephlee2469 there are costs for that two miles campus/ a medical campus. During covid all faculty needed to take a pay cut. Certain money is for certain purposes. I’m saying that partially amount of money came from endowment. If that tuition helps with this kinda shit they wouldn’t be hustling so hard to fund raising. Trust me I still go there

[@johnnyVSpok]

It’s weird to hear so many people talk about it like they haven’t ever stepped out of their city. In New York this wouldn’t even be news worthy.

The same second I saw,0:03 the association is, A mountain of carelessly stacked books, which students put in their room! I'm sure it was an inspiration to the architect!

300 million bucks? How much carbon was burned by people who earned the money to pay for that?

People will do anything for attention nowadays. If that's the future, it's fitting for what's been going on in this country which is made up of a bunch of weirdos. It's ugly!

[@josephlee2469]

It’s pretty cool inside tho. And everyone I know is mainly excited cuz of the views.

[@lushfauna]

America sucks now in almost every way

An "ugly" piece of architecture that will not stand the passage of time.
