She isn't there all the time. Take the stuff out and change the locks. It isn't hard.

Wait, you mean to tell me that she has a full-time job and living on campus without taking a single class...for 2 years?!
I never knew you could ‘squat’ in a dorm room...just wow 😲
$94K in fees, on top of student loans; is she paying anything?
‘Geography was my major” _ how rich 🤣😭

Lolol I went to see who would be crazy enough to do this and what college would be crazy enough to allow her to stay there for two years. Lo and behold I find it’s MY OWN college Hunter. Suddenly I’m no longer surprised. Craziness ensues there every day. So much fun. Still gotta love Hunter tho... NS Hunter ‘19!

So they waited 2 years to kick her out? The school should have done that immediately after she wasn't enrolled in classes.

She should move to another geographical location.

Well, another 60 years and she will be too feeble to fight an eviction so the college should hang tight!

[kittycat]

Don’t they have automated locks on the entrances to the dorms so that only registered students can enter? I thought that was a fairly common place thing in the states. And if it isn’t it’s certainly something the campus should foot the bill for if they have this problem.

Good for the college to go about it the legal way but jeezy creezy lady no one forced you out EVERYONE gets kicked out if you don't pay tuition. Why are you so special??

[dragoncrackers]

She's been there over two years? Well, here is a different approach. Why dont they just adopt her as their mascot. Just name themselves "The Millennials" and just keep her as the super. She can show up for games, stand on the court at half-time and just stair at her iphone and take selfies and talk trash about the president and how ashamed she is to be an American. Perfect solution.

HOW DID I they squat a "She aint a playa she just squat a "She aint a playa she just squat a lot".... BIG PUN GOT WHAT YA LOOKIN (beat fades)

[angelahagerman]

Wait until she leaves her room and then change the locks and post all of her charges

[t_money_third]

Let other students get opportunity's

[qll]

I graduated from Hunter, with that said 94 for a dorm is insane

[crtmojo]

I'm guessing she dropped or failed some classes and thats why she ran out of money at the end. Pull her transcripts.

[alimohammond]

she black, she deserves it, so let her stay, it sound normal to me!!

[your_being_led_by_your_nose]

She likes the room. So? As much as students pay these days she oughta have a maid.

[qigung]

Meet your future Democratic Member of Congress! Her campaign slogan? “Why should I be responsible for my actions?”

[festivusfortherestofus]

Only a black woman would think squatting, is the best logical option in this situation. Then she had the nerve to say, every semester is another opportunity to enroll. Yet four semesters have past, and she's been unable to acquire the funds to re-enroll.

[johnsweda]

Shouldn't the college help her! If she hasn't got the money to pay for her accommodation bit mean of the college usually students who struggle with financial problems the college go out of their way to help the student.
