The other one, though, seems to be down for the count. I find that sad and scary for young people to risk their futures when they've got this terrific once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that college is for most people. So if I see a student here poking around, I'd prefer to scare them away than ruin them by welcoming them into our chronophageous insanity.
They obviously had a good teacher to emulate...
