Indeed, Wesleyan has been there, I just didn't mention them as, well for better or worse which I'm not out to debate, the Wesleyan schools draw a different student seeking a different purpose and education than state schools or even the Jesuit schools where I personally am more familiar with GLO success.
Oh, and I had to google for the juco I was trying to remember. I *think* it was Brown Mackie in Salina. Sounds right anyway. I just have memories of them struggling to grow in a town where there was little room to do so at the time. They were looking at converting an old run down flea bag hotel just off the main drag downtown into pseudo dormitory living space for their students. I have no idea if it ever flew but it was the most god-awful thing I had heard of given what their options were.
Anyway, that dump, pit, and maybe even the flea bag hotel (ok, not the flea bag hotel) will always have a soft spot in my heart because it was home, for a while anyway. There's no place like home!
Especially when you can't get a Sonic Burger, tots, and a cherry limeade in California to save your soul.
