on the afternoon of september 2, a reporter from zonglan news contacted a student who had just entered the sophomore year at the xinchang campus of yancheng normal university. "when i was a freshman, i could rent the dormitory air conditioner for one year, but now i am forced to rent it until graduation. i have to pay for four years as a freshman, and we have to pay for three years. even if i go out for internship in my senior year and don't need (the air conditioner), i still have to pay." the student told reporters that the air conditioner rental fee is paid per dormitory. when i was a freshman, each dormitory paid 360 yuan per year, and this year it has risen to 420 yuan. if you don't pay, the school will remove the air conditioner in the dormitory. in addition to the air conditioner rental fee, students also need to pay for electricity. the current dormitory air conditioner is an old-fashioned air conditioner with a three-level energy consumption produced in 2016, which consumes relatively high energy. "when it's the hottest in summer, the electricity bill is more than 100 yuan a week," said the student.

the student was very dissatisfied with this. he believed that the school should not force students to sign a three-year lease and pay all fees at once. he also questioned the school's outsourcing of dormitory air conditioning.
