I'm sure i speak across the board....
At the end of the day why do they insist on a joining fee? When your going to be putting money into the school by renting their a/c!!!!
My advice is group share...cheaper!!!
I think the joining fee/membership fee goes to things like:
Gas
Water
Electricity
Licensing
Staffing
Blah blah blah
And I think the hourly AC charge covers the AC running costs plus a contingency kitty.
