An interior designer specializing in college dorms, highlights a trend where students now spend an average of $10,000 on dorm furnishings—more than their tuition. This lavish spending contrasts sharply with the rising rates of grade inflation, where students achieve higher GPAs while studying less. The phenomenon raises concerns about entitlement in education and the potential long-term impacts on innovation and workforce readiness.
