Ya know, I used to hate willy p when i went there. Well, maybe not hate, but I thought it was pretty ******. Now I look back on it and I really should have respected it a lot more. The classes were small, the professors actually knew who you were, you could theoretically walk from one side of the campus to the other in about 15 mins..

Now I'm at Rutgers, and I love it here, but some things I really dont like. Classes with 500 students = ******. Before I brought a bike here, my SHORTEST walk to class was a half hour, and luckily I didnt have to take any buses to another campus for class like most poeple do. I like the fact that new brunswick is more of a college town than Wayne, but it was definitely super cool that you could buy stuff at 7-11 and Brother Brunos and Wendy's with your Pioneer card. Here none of the local businesses will do that, they only take Knight Express (Pioneers equivalent) on campus.

EDIT: I was thorougly amazed that with an enrollment of 50,000 students or whatever the hell high number it is here, they have parking pretty well under control. Sometimes its a bitch and you cant park in a lot that you want to, but the lot they assign you will always have a space, no 'vulturing' for a spot like I had to do in Lot 2 over there. And resident parking, at least in my apartments, is shorter than a walk from Lot 4 to the Atrium.

I also thought it was really funny, there were 7 numbered parking lots and a handfull of small ones that werent numbered at willy p.. yeah, my parking permit is for Lot 99B here. WTF?
