re: LSU charging 75% penalty to all students who moved out of dorms for CoronaVirus (updated)

Let's do some math here.

First Year Student Rent Rates Engineering Res College per semester is $4,245

OP Article Res College $890 credit

First day of the semester was January 13. Last exam day is May 9. That's 117 days. March 19 - May 9 is 52 days. That means 45% of the semester was remaining. That would mean approximately $1886 should be refunded. Obviously move in and move out days might be off by a few days.
