That’s a fancy room. Kid has a microwave and fridge.
Way nicer than what I had.
They didn’t make little fridges or microwaves in my day. We were only allowed a popcorn maker. But Spaghetti-Os and boxed mac ‘n cheese could be cooked in the popcorn maker and wieners on the clothes iron. We made do with cold tap water for a glass of instant tea.
The campus cafeteria was closed on the weekends so I’d have one 45 cent can of Spaghetti-Os on Saturday. For Sunday, I’d take $2 and walk down to the fried chicken place and buy a snack box (chicken thigh, fries and biscuit) which left enough change to stop by the gas station coke machine. Today’s kids would freak but we were happy.
We had a tea coil, and that was that!
The daughter did her grad work at Stanford. Incredible! First year there she had standard old time housing; next year, Munger Residences .. fantastic suites for each student in an apartment with double kitchen. Never saw anything like it on any college campus.
