Hey, I'm a student of Montclair State University, and this subject has outraged many other students. It started when I was a freshman in 2005, but had been building long before I arrived. This is another example of American education becoming a commodity. For our administration, it's more about putting our school on the map, rather than making it a better place to learn. I do have the campus connect phone...its in a box at a storage shed in south jersey, and I have never missed it.
I write for the campus newspaper, The Montclarion, and this is a piece I wrote about this epidemic:

That's anywhere from $35-$53 a month! AND these kids are going to have a personal cell phone with its own service?
Ridiculous.
Seriously. I'm glad I chose NOT to go to THAT school!
