To hear my father tell it, he had to walk 5 miles to school, in the snow, with no shoes and no coat. We live in Alabama, which is doubtful, considering we rarely get snow. But it is unseasonably cool here lately...we even had frost already!

When I was attending Central Michigan University, they made us walk through 14" of snow in a blizzard to classes.  What's worse is the fact that they did not let anyone off the hook who had to DRIVE to campus.  What a day that was when I had to drive in, park in the freshman lot, walk a mile to my dorm, and then walk another mile to my 8am class.   >:(



Yanno .. Grand Valley State Univ made the students attend when it was literally 10 below without factoring in the wind chill .. People were getting frost bite walking to class - But in my opinion, thats the joy of paying for classes, so you can choose not to have your nose fall off   O0

Apparently they have only closed campus for weather related issues once.

I'm going back to school again this winter (finally), but it's only ten minutes from my house the local college. O0  Gotta love school...I'm close to just being a "professional student", lol.
