Not Fair
I do not think that the students that live on campus here at Ithaca College should have to pay for their own internet and cable. It does not seem fair to me when I think to myself that after this four years of school, I am going to be in serious debt. When I am paying $40,000 every year to attend this college, I do not think it is right for the college to not supply internet and cable. There are many colleges in this country that provide free internet and free cable. This argument is a proposal and it is something I would like to propose to the body of this school. I know that there are many people on this campus who agree with this claim I am stating, many students would be eager to help and state their beliefs. Overall I do not think it is right for the school to lack the ability to provide cable and a solid Internet connection.

This, of course, calls into question the meaning of the word "free". Very often these kinds of costs are built into the price of tuition at institutions that offer "free" internet and cable services, but function under the illusion of being provided at no extra cost. Having to pay for them separately places the consumer (student/parent) directly in contact with the cost of the service. Certainly interesting to look at from a marketing standpoint--what is the way to present these kinds of costs that is most palatable to consumers, even though they might be paying the same amount when all is said and done?
