This morning as I tracked the departing snow and conditions I also perused facebook in which a number of my friends showed there displeasure that both ISU and Iowa were having classes today in spite of the "horrible" road conditions. I essentially told them to quit whining for 3 fold reasons.
1.Its finals and especially with it being friday it would cause scheduling problems, your not in high school anymore
2.Road conditions may be bad but the vast majority of people still had to head to work this morning, view it in a similar vein.
3. Most college students live relatively near to their campus and thus travel difficulties are somewhat negated
4. I didn't mention this but from most accounts, the roads weren't great but they weren't dangerously treacherous either
In return I had some nasty messages sent my way and just am curious to see everyones opinions on the issue.
