Oreos at Ohio State: Almost $6
Ohio State's Lantern points out the ridiculous prices for snacks bought on campus versus the regular grocery store.
$5.85 for Oreos? That's a 114 percent markup. Highway robbery.

Paying for convenience...
.. means paying convenience store prices.
Highway Robbery
The state should enforce something against the college for doing such a thing! During exams and projects, it is nearly impossible to get off campus sometimes when you are craving any type of junk food addiction. Considering the high cost of school already, they can cut back on the food costs.
College kids are dumber than rocks
If you're at college, you're supposed to know how to buy stuff cheap. Otherwise, you ain't smart enough to deserve to be there.
And Kroger is not the cheapest. Walmart's "Great Value" house brands and anything at Aldi food stores are the cheapest.
