The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, “which charges state residents $11,332 in undergraduate tuition a year,
No, UT of Knoxville charges $28K in-state tuition. I don’t like when an article starts with an easily verifiable fact that is proven wrong. But it is Student Journalism, I am willing to keep going…

New York University, one of Manhattan’s largest real estate owners, charges students $12,900 per semester to have their own studio apartment, though that price can be reduced to as low as $4,950 by rooming with two other people and forgoing a kitchen.
$5K a semester per student for a 3 person suite without a kitchen? Sounds about right, and very low for NY.

Around Thanksgiving last year, water began pouring through the ceiling of Cecilia Brown’s apartment. The flooding destroyed many of her belongings, including her diary, her father’s vintage camera, and a piece of her baby blanket. The sprinkler system in Hunter’s 79th Street Apartments was set off by an oven fire in the apartment above her.
Months before, Brown and her roommates submitted work orders to the building’s maintenance about the preexisting water damage in the room, such as bubbling in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. “They did not respond to any of our work order requests, and by the time that they did, we probably fixed it ourselves,” said Brown. She was eventually reassigned to a different room and reimbursed for the damage of her belongings several months later.
-
The fire had nothing to do with the pre-existing water damage in the room. Why relate either as part of the antidote.
-
She says they never responded to her work order, and then says when they did, the were slow and she could have fixed it herself. Which is it? Did they show or not?
-
She was reimbursed for the damage? I get that it was inconvenient, but what’s the problem?

In an article that is entirely about campus housing, you include the campus housing costs in the tuition.
Frankly, the tuition cost is irrelevant to the article anyway, strictly the housing is what the discussion is about.
