Hello, this behavior of the school charging tuition fees in advance has been suspected of illegal operation and unreasonable. Because for whatever purpose, schools can't charge in advance for a long time. Generally, schools charge tuition fees about 2 to 3 days before the start of school, otherwise it is suspected of illegal operation, and the charging standard will be publicized for students and parents to inquire. This matter can be reported to the local education department. As for the charge for the other dormitory you mentioned, if the charge standard is 1.200 yuan alone, it is really a bit expensive. If you feel unreasonable, you can report this matter to the local authorities and ask the school to change the charging standard of this dormitory, but personally, I think the chance of the school changing is very small. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
