Thank you for the honest opinions so far. Yes, I was aware of their on site accommodations being more expensive, I was just kinda hoping the extra expense was at least justified by permitting you to get some quiet study time in.
mad-jock, I am sorry you felt that way during your course-did you feel that this was blatantly made clear to you on a regular basis, or was it more subtle and you kinda had to pick up on it? I'd like to believe a school is a school, you get in, get your work done, and move on, but I bet it feels unpleasant having done that you when you are in effect their customer.
