And now for the backstory on these uncomfortable-looking couches. This photo was taken in the hallway at the University of Georgia School of Law. The school is currently being renovated, and the administration bought 12 of these luxurious loungers.
Our favorite quip from a tipster: “They have turned the hallways into a therapy room, a late-night lounge, a place to house unemployed alums, etc. — pick your flavor.”
The couches were purchased for the low, low price of $8,856 a piece. And you wondered why your tuition went up by $1,000. Here’s your explanation, folks. Students at UGA Law now get to sit on almost a year’s worth of in-state tuition between classes. Hope that makes your ass feel special!
