In fact, sending the cost to your term bill is the default option. If wayward partygoers do any damage to your dorm room, you’ll be covered at the end of the year. Mom and Dad will cover the holes in the walls, excessive spills on the carpet, and the dead Newfoundland in your shower, as all repairs are term-billed...
