YOU BASTARDS!!!
The UH Board of Regents recently approved a new recreation fee of $78 per semester for all UH Hilo students. The fee will allow all students access to the new Student Life Center on campus, which is expected to open at the beginning of the Fall 2008 semester. The $78 semester fee works out to be only about $17 per month. On average, recreation, fitness and wellness centers at universities across the nation charge students a higher mandatory recreation fee. Fees are necessary to cover the expenses of operating a high-quality, first-class facility.
The beautiful new Student Life Center includes nearly 23,000 square feet of indoor fitness/recreational rooms, a cardio and weight room, dance and aerobics rooms, a lounge with wireless internet, an indoor cafe', locker rooms, an outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool, and an open deck by the pool.
The new fee has been automatically added to your MyUH account if have already registered for the Fall 2008 semester. The University was conscientious to keep the fee as low as possible so that the Center can operate effectively and safely while still being affordable for students. The new Center is a fabulous addition to UH Hilo and will greatly enhance student life on campus! You can read more about it and see photos at http://www.uhh.hawaii.edu/studentlife/center .
WTF! I can barely pay my tuition as is, and they're adding on $78 to my tuition for a facility I probably won't even use? =.= I'd rather pay the $17 per month if I choose to use it. (Like $17 in October if I want to go in there.) It's like the fees they charge for the nurse's office (in all my years at UH, I've only gone there ONCE and it was for aspirin), RISO--the organization that governs student clubs (to which I've only belonged to once, and only went to like two meetings then quit).
Ughhhhhhh. I just want to pay for my classes and parking and that's it. =.= I don't want to pay for all this fancy crap. D
