Top 5 camine de lux din SUA

Cand se gandesc la camine, studentii romani vizualizeaza instant camere inghesuite, adesea cu gandaci si bai in capat de hol.

Studentii din SUA o duc ceva mai bine, cu toate ca si ei sunt nevoiti sa traiasca in conditii studentesti, daca ne gandim la taxele de scolarizare din universitatile americane. Si totusi, printre acesti studenti, se numara si aceia care prefera caminele si traiul de lux. Descopera, in continuare, un top al celor mai luxoase camine din SUA!

Topul caminelor de lux din SUA este intocmit in fiecare an de Pricenton Review. Iata care sunt caminele care au ocupat locurile fruntase:


Caminele Colegiului Smith

Aflat in orasul Northampton din statul Massachusetts, Colegiul Smith percepe o taxa de scolarizare de 37.758 dolari pe an, la care se adauga costul vietii in camin (care include si hrana) de 12.622 dolari pe an.

Acest colegiu de fete organizeaza in fiecare saptamana petreceri si cine la lumina lumanarilor cu profesorii de la clasa. In plus, studentele locuiesc in casute cochete din lemn sau caramida in interiorul unui campus din care nu lipsesc iazul si o cascada!


Caminele Universitatii Loyola

Universitatea Loyola din Baltimore, Maryland, percepe o taxa de scolarizare de 36.240 dolari pe an, plus cazare si masa, in valoare de 9.740 dolari pe an.

Daca multi studenti sunt obisnuiti cu clasicele cantine, Universitatea Loyola dispune de nu mai putin de 10 restaurante in care studentii se pot infrupta din mancaruri cu specific japonez, indian, italian sau local. In cazul in care studentii organizeaza o seara de studiu in grup, aceste restaurante pot sa le aduca mancarea chiar la usa!



Caminele Colegiului de Inginerie Franklin W. Olin

Colegiul situat in Needham, statul Massachusetts, percepe o taxa de scolarizare de 37.900 dolari pe an, cu cazarea si masa obligatorie in campus, in valoare de 13.485 dolari.

Apartinand unui colegiu de inginerie, caminele acestuia sunt dotate cu aparatura hi-tech, dar si cu alte facilitati, cum ar fi seminee in holuri, bai personale, aer conditionat si cablu. De asemenea, studentii pot beneficia si de servirea mesei la in camin. Meniul este variat, permitand studentilor sa se hranesca in functie de propriile convingeri (acestia pot consuma mancare vegetariana, vegana, etc.).



Caminele Colegiului Scripps

Colegiul din Claremont, California, percepe o taxa de scolarizare de 37.950 dolari pe an, la care se adauga cazarea si masa, in valoare de 12.600 dolari pe an. Acest colegiu de fete dispune de un campus dotat cu cladiri cu hornuri cu un design deosebit, dar si cu gradini secrete sau prajituri proaspete in cantine. In ceea ce priveste caminele, acestea au balcoane, dulapuri uriase, bai personale si sufragerii comune dotate cu un pian si semineu.


Caminele Colegiului Bennington

Nu in ultimul rand, Colegiul Bennington din orasul cu acelasi nume din statul Vermont percepe o taxa de scolarizare anuala de 39.760 dolari, la care se adauga cazarea in camin si masa, in valoare de 11.100 pe an. Campusul in care isi fac veacul studentii Colegiului Bennington este cu adevarat luxos.

Caminele poarta numele de „case”, iar studentii pot opta pentru acestea in functie de arhitectura – de la cea moderna la cea traditionala New England. Cele mai multe dintre case sunt dotate cu o bucatarie si sufragerii cu semineu. 

La fel ca majoritatea institutiilor din aceasta lista, cantinele colegiului ofera o varietate de mancaruri, de la thailandeze la italienesti, cu o multime de optiuni (mancare vegetariana, vegana, etc.)
