  Should all students just buy an apartment for the 4-5 years they spend in the city or will the city be the landlord for them somehow collectively? Or is it less bad if the college is the landlord by offering student housing?

      Not American.

      Our colleges and universities are free. There is no student athlete industry over here.

        So if your taxes pay for education shouldn’t they pay for basic housing? One of these is required for life, isn’t this taught in university?
