(3) A student hawking t-shirts that say “(your school) co-ed naked lacrosse”? (“Dude, its you”)
(4) A credit card table by the student union to lure you into early debt? (Free watch! Free H20 Bottle! Sign Up Now! Free Mug! Free Phone!
(5) A dorm room sporting “the wall of empties”?
(6) A building in stark architectual contrast to all the others?
Remember, kids, these are the building blocks of any liberal arts education!
