OK, I see this argument all the time. You arent buying friends. Having that house is expensive--especially given that many universities are in historical districts. Social events cost money. Who is going to pay for this? Certainly not the University. Only the brothers/sisters can pay this. Its not a question of buying your friends, its a question of covering the inevitable costs.
