Honestly, you're not alone. You're describing a lot of schools. As I said in my first post in this thread, the problems haven't changed. I lived in a lot of real dumps in college.
You're right, of course, about the "slum lords," and, of course, the student renters don't really do anything to take care of the places either. I suspect that about 60-75% of all off-campus rental property in America should be condemned.
Parking is a joke almost everywhere, too. I tell my son, who wants to take a car to college next year, that I think I paid more in parking tickets than tuition when I was in school. Colleges keep growing their headcounts, but there is a finite number of parking spaces.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
