Quote of the Day (Dave Barry, on the ‘Biggest Crisis’ Facing Colleges Today)
“Parking is the single biggest crisis facing
American higher education today. Despite the fact that colleges are,
theoretically, institutions of higher learning, it apparently has never occurred
to the geniuses who run them that anybody would be arriving by car. The result
is that most colleges have approximately one parking space per 150 students,
which means that many students spend their entire college careers cruising
around looking for a legal spot. Many students are forced to park illegally and
receive parking tickets, which at your top Ivy League schools can cost $5,000
per violation.” — Dave Barry, Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? (2007)
