    Lol, yep.

    The university I attended had a tram system between campuses, and there was a certain point when it got to a long, straight stretch of track the car would speed up. There were never enough hand holds for the standing riders, and all the sophomore and above students expected it and just kind of leaned into it while the freshmen would just fall backwards and we’d laugh at them.

      Damn. Lucky you. My campus was just super huge without that. There was a campus bus, but it was expensive. It sometimes took a good half an hour to get to your class if you walked, which sucked in the winter. To quote Phil Ochs, “to get around this campus, why you’d almost need a plane.”
