The Sunday New York Times published a hot little feature entitled "Residential Collage" that spotlights Cornell's West Campus housing project while doing a spectacular job of making CU look like the worst place to go to college ever.

Did you know West Campus, Rawlings' multi-million dollar baby, is actually part of a larger plan to ensure students don't have any fun ever? Check out this gem:

"[Rawlings] embarked on the West Campus project, which he saw as a way to combat another tradition at Cornell-- very hard work offset by very hard partying."

Awesome. Because after classes and libe sessions have wrapped up for the day, the vast majority of Cornellians are for sure yearning for more intellectual assault. Why not get 'em where they sleep?

“It had become clear that there was a 4:30 p.m. cutoff at the university [Ed. note: no shit], after which many students entered an intellect-free zone,” says [Isaac] Kramnick, who was named the first vice provost for undergraduate education in 2001. Cornell, he adds, prided itself on giving students independence in their choice of housing, “but for some students, better students who were looking for more intellectually oriented living arrangements, we didn’t have it.”

Hear that, non-West-campus dwellers? Students who live on West are better than you.

Listen, it's cool what you're doing with West Campus, Hunter, but don't forget you're dealing with several thousand college students who get through the days knowing that those days eventually end...at 4:30, and often with herbal or alcoholic refreshments.

Also, does this article give anyone else the creepy feeling that they're going to start requiring students to live on West after freshman year at some point in the future? If this is true, then consider this a memo The Man: HELL to the NO.
