A 32-year-old college dropout refuses to leave her dorm room almost two years after she stopped taking classes.

Lisa Palmer has racked up more than $94,000 in unpaid residence fees while illegally squatting in the messy single room at Hunter College in New York.

The former geography major ignored numerous eviction notices and the fed-up university is taking her to court to have her dragged out.

The Delaware woman 'almost immediately' stopped paying her bills after moving in during spring semester 2016, a lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court said.

'Not only did Palmer refuse to vacate her dormitory room in order to make room for incoming, eligible students... but she dropped out of Hunter College, making her ineligible for student housing in any event,' it read.

Palmer, who now works two jobs and serves on the board of the Geospatial Information Systems and Mapping Organization, still refused to budge.

'I plan on fighting the lawsuit and while I fight it, I'm going to stay,' she told the New York Post.

Though she refused to leave, Palmer said life in her 100-square-foot dorm crammed with a lava lamp, a dream catcher, and piles of dirty dishes was 'really lonely' in her 30s, and she felt 'isolated'.

Palmer claimed she never actually dropped out and the university wouldn't let her register for fall semester classes after a dispute about her housing and tuition bill,

'I felt that it was a miscommunication initially, but after I met with the dean I felt that they were starting to treat me unfairly. It was like, 'get out',' she said.

After emails warning she would be charged $150 a day, she received an eviction notice last October titled 'thirty day notice of termination' in all caps.

'You are required to vacate and surrender the premises on or before October 31, 2017, at 12:00 pm,' the letter from Hunter's lawyer read.

'I don't think paying it off is realistic, and I also don't believe that I should have to pay it off,' Palmer told CBS of her massive housing bill.

Hunter College it couldn't comment on pending litigation.

So she has two jobs and a board posting and yet is still squatting, rent free in college accommodation? :fish:

Then move the fuck out and let the college have it's room back... :banghead:

Oh, but you should. You're trying to make the college pay for you for no goddamn reason beyond that you can.

You're not destitute, you're not jobless, you're not in need. What you ARE is trying to game the system. -_-
 
I wonder if she can find a cheap lawyer who will take her case, if she actually has one. I don't think she does, but stranger things have happened.
 
Brick her in then.
She become an urban myth.
They used to do that to nuns on the side of a church. From the sounds of it, this chick is practically a nun already.

I have to say, I kinda admire her chutzpah. Also the university has been wimpy.
 
She sounds very entitled for no reason.

She wants what she wants and she thinks she should have it simply because she wants it.

Let's just cut to the chase, what she is, IS an embarrassment and a leach ..
 
The higher education industry is for a fact one of the most greedy and corrupt industries in America. That said, their corruption and tactics and desire to screw people over relates 100% to their goal of making money. They will do whatever they can to rip you off and get money out of you. What she is suggesting happened clashes entirely with that. Why would a college refuse money from someone unless they had damn good reason?

Fucking nutter.
