Low-tech College Impact

Just when I thought the Wake Forest tour was going to be all about fun, food and free wifi, our young guide went off-script to talk about the students she'd met, changes she'd noticed in herself since transfering last semester.

"It's easier to remain focused when you have other students around you that are doing the same things," she said. "It's not embarassing to say you're going to Model U.N. because most likely that friend you're talking to is going to Asia club."

I knew it was true. I'd lived that transformation at UNC-Chapel Hill decades before.
