Dilemma

Going to a big school can be good and bad.

Problem 1: There are professors and fields of study that are ranked nationally, but going to a big school means your campus is BIG. You have 15 minutes to walk, bike, or run across campus to your next class if you have classes back to back.

Problem 2: You pretty much run to class, which means, even though it's only 70 degrees outside, or in the winter months -20, you are sweating by the time you get to class and thirsty, after a few of these "running sessions" you're out of water.

Problem 3: Class isn't that long. On average 50 minutes. You don't want to drink too much water or you may have to get up and use the bathroom, potentially missing important information.

Problem 4: You better hope you have a good deodorant, and that the people in your class do too. We've all had that smelly kid we had to endure sitting next too. It's even worse when your seat is assigned and you have to sit there for an entire semester.

So, do you arrive ontime to class, drenched in sweat, thirsty, with the potential to pee your pants and make your nearby classmate sit with their hand to their nose the entire lecture, or do you walk leisurely and enjoy the view of your beautiful campus (One which devotes countless amounts of money to it's buildings and grounds upkeep) and arrive to class a few minutes late and have everyone stare at you as you walk in???
