You had a TV, wow, you were rich.
I graduated with $7.49 to my name. 33 years later, I think I have $10.75.
I actually had a great deal for college housing. After one term in the dorms (Hated) a friend introduced me to an old lady at church who rented out several rooms with kitchen privileges. I think rent was $20 a week. Best part, her house was only two houses off campus.
My major was communication arts and marketing.
I justified it.
