Phony Students

No one would ever question a random pedestrian if they walked into a large lecture room at HSU and took a seat before class began. Why don’t more people do this? Give yourself a schedule consisting of only classes taught in large lecture rooms (there are plenty to choose from). Attend class on a regular basis, buy the text books, do the homework and mingle with the classmates. After a few weeks, you’ll forget you’re not a student and accidentally turn something in or raise your hand.

After hours, the art labs on campus are available to anyone that looks halfway human. 90% of the school’s library is open to the general public – as are sporting events, events on campus, guest lectures, open gym and dining halls. Is this a problem that schools are concerned with - phony students receiving a free education by simply filling empty seats? Maybe, but I never got that impression. Perhaps it’s worth investigating.

Tuition at HSU: $5,755
School without the pressure of grades: Priceless

*I’ve decided to forever ignore the last comma in a list, the comma before “and.” It seems redundant. Example: Red, orange, blue and yellow. Doesn’t that look cleaner than red, orange, blue, and yellow? Maybe I’ll keep the comma but drop the “and.” Red, orange, blue, yellow. Straight to the point.
