There were some extenuating circumstances that led to my Van Wilder-like stay.

Not exactly, Memphis wasn't really all that bad to tell you the truth. I had a hell of a lot of fun there as
a 20 year old kid who looked old enough to never be carded. My two main beefs with the school lay in
the fact that while a large university ( over 20,000 ) only about 4,000 students lived on campus. If you
weren't in a frat or sorority there wasn't much else to do except drink at the pool halls, which I did quite
frequently. The fact that there wasn't a true campus lifestyle available was a big turnoff. Had some good
basketball but you would have to get downtown to the Pyramid to see a men's game.

Some really great food down there and Beale Street and Memphis in May are not to be missed if you are
in the area. Never went to Graceland. I was glad I saw the writing on the wall by the end of the semester
and an old friend of mine was looking for a roommate at Illinois State which I really enjoyed. Wish I would have
gone there first. Sent applications to Illinois and Wisconsin as well but didn't have the marks to get in.

Yeah it is amazing that it is a school that big and it is still a commuter college.

NIU is pretty much the same. But the good news is that from NIU you can commute to Chicago.

What favorable destination does one commute to from Memphis?

SDSU was the same as well. It was a massive school and no one lived on campus.

My five college grad kids, not me. One year, we had five tuitions paid the same time. That was fun. I mention them because I probably have learned more from them than I did in my own checkered academic career.

And the sixth and youngest? I am most proud of him too. He is in the Air Force.

Whaddya learn?
