Some university administrators have completely lost the plot... My college wanted to charge me 310 pounds/month for a tiny student room.

If their university hall is not there for the students to use, who is it for? Universities are still publicly funded, not businesses. Unfortunately they have picked up business tactics in pricing (unfortunately not in customer service...)

I don't think i've been to any with a smaller dance floor, you can't really dance behind the columns, and then there is not much floor left... I'd probably prefer to be in a gym with a good sized floor rather than a small ballroom...
