So I was thinking that Slippery Rock should expand...how does everyone else feel about it. I just solved the crisis on weather. Slippery Rock should open branch campuses in Miami, Las Vegas, North Carolina, and I don't know lets say Cancun, Mexico. Not only would Slippery Rock University become the mega-university in the country, students would benefit because of the diverse setting. Not only the nice weather, but also chances to learn different cultures of the United States. I personally think this is a great idea. Carnegie Mellon has branches all over the world, so why not The Rock. The only bad thing is that the orignal Slippery Rock Pennsylvania would probably become a wasteland because of the other amazing locations. I honestly probably wouldn't even come home on breaks, my family would come and visit me! I would look forward to going to class and then hitting the beach after for an early evening run along the water as the sunset sparkles across the water. Then maybe go out with some friends down the strip of Vegas or Miami instead of going down Main Street to Sheetz. After finishing my portfolio, I could relax in the lazy river or wavepool at Mandalay Bay instead of starting the next up and coming project in Tech PETE to further my stress and depression. Instead of eating at the Flu and Boozel, I could eat at amazing seafood 5 star restaurants that are open for more than just lunch 11-2pm ...while watching the waves pound against beach. Lastly, there would probably be more parking too because Slippery Rock still cannot figure out to just build a freaking parking garage for residence parking because some people never move their cars....Just a thought....
 

Haha, this is the best blog I have read so far. And I will have to say that I am in 125% agree-ness! That would be sweet to have Slippery Rock Branches all over the place because Penn State does it too! Let's suggest one to Ocean City Maryland too because that's where I like to go on vacation :) Coming home to an apartment in Miami or Cancun, now that's what I call a chance to kick back and relax! Let's send a petition around? And who cares about this boring lil town of Slippery Rock if it becomes a ghost town? We would at least know where it all originated from :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Amen to the parking situation!
haha I love it John!
ReplyDeleteWalking to class in the bright sunshine with palm trees lining the sidewalks and the cool ocean breeze hitting my face...that is life. Having Slippery Rock branch schools would be a phenomenal thing. Not only would it be great to walk to class and be one hundred times more enjoyable then being in this climate, we would get a good education. Imagine the growth Slippery Rock would go through. Taking the reputation of Slippery Rock's excellent school of education around the nation would put Slippery Rock in a good position. You never know.....
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea!!! Beautiful weather is always wonderful. Even though Slippery Rock is cold and ugly 90% of the time, I will always keep this place close to my heart. I just got back from Las Vegas and to say the least, I wouldn't get any work done there. Great idea, very clever!
