My neighbor dropped his kid off for freshman year of college (University of Wisconsin-Madison). My neighbor said back when he went to school (and same for me), the move-in day was very lively, lots of folks meeting, out and exploring, very kinetic. He said now the experience is like checking into a hotel. Lots of doors shut, people moving in and not really socializing.

We both commented it's probably a combo of the COVID effect combined with the digital lives that kids lead. He was a bit sad about how things have changed.

That's my alma mater. A truly great school, on the level of Harvard, Marshal, Illinois Wesleyan, and Duchesne Academy Of The Sacred Heart. Too bad about the more standoffish nature.

@Horace My wife went there as well. My kids will likely go, too.

My uncle was on the faculty for a while. He taught meteorology there for a few years, an Air Force gig.

I got arrested there once. They caught me trying to smuggle books onto campus.

I got off on a technicality, though. No one could prove they were books.

@jon-nyc playboys are magazines anyway

Smuggle books onto a university campus? I must be missing something here.

It’s not believable that a white male got arrested for anything anyway.

Add this one to that thread we have documenting all of Jon’s lies.

Back then white males were the terrorists. Like the dude who blew up part of the science building in the 70s.

I can’t really speak to moving in… Thanks to MB, Luke has moved in a week before the general campus move in weekend. Moving out has been friendly enough…
