They never had a class like this when I went to school

A lot of people my age I’ll bet would love to go back and relive their college experience.

I remember my college days at UWM as not being very provocative or exotic.

They’re not supposed to be after all.

Part of the time, I worked at WUWM where I did a lot of reporting/anchoring on serious, controversial stories. Those days were spent in the spartan station facilities in the basement of the Fine Arts Building on campus, a far cry from the state of the art studios the station enjoys today.

I recall economics classes in Bolton’s large lecture hall, with all 500 seats filled.

And other classes in non-descript typical college classrooms in typical college buildings like Chapman, Cunningham, Enderis, and Curtin Hall’s.

Never did I have an experience like students at Randolph College in Virginia.

Last month, I named the school as one of my VILLAINS OF THE WEEK in one of my Week-ends blogs. Here’s why.

That’s not a course parents should waste their kids’ tuition on.

I would, however, have been in a mad dash to register for a class a friend of mine in Las Vegas told me about.

But, let’s be real. This would never be a course offering at UWM.
