As a husband, parent of 3 young kids, and full-time dev, I only have time for classes, assignments, and exams. At my local University (UM-Flint), I pay almost $2,000 per 3 credit class. I’m also enrolled at Arizona State, which charges me about the same for its online-only experience because I’m “out-of-state”. In a way, I am subsidizing other students’ non-academic activities which probably have a net negative effect on society.

From a selfish and ideological standpoint, I would love to see non-academic aspects of universities dismantled.
