College Campuses Affordable Travel Destinations
Posted by Joanna on Mar 2nd, 2009
The travel section of last weekend’s NY Times promotes the campus as an affordable, interesting travel destination. It’s true that college/universities offer many of the great features of small towns. I like the guy who visited his 500th campus last fall. He’s been “bagging” campus cafeterias since the 1980s. It’s not quite the same as “bagging the 4,000 footers” in the Whites but obviously he enjoys it.
