I myself worked at a department store all summer, neatening aisles and the like. The speed with which the customers would completely destroy one's careful attempts at neatness and order was horribly depressing. Exerting so much effort cleaning a place only to return a short time later to find everything completely trashed does not yield the most joyful of feelings, as anyone who has worked in a similar job must know. I find the cleaning staff's abilities to fight off madness inspiring. I don't really see how any administrators could be blamed for anything here.
Any blame belongs to the students, in that respect.
Not all students, of course. Not all locales, either, but more than enough to be at least mildly disgusting. Perhaps some students could put some more effort into taking better care of their living environment, or at least not totaling it. If you are going to pay so much money for room and board anyway, you might as well do your best to keep it moderately clean. This site is maintained by Nicholas R.
