Buy College Education, Get Free iBook

Posted by pudge on from the a-cheap-way-to-get-a-computer dept.

kraksmoka writes ""The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article about how Saint Leo University in Florida is offering an iBook laptop to every incoming residential student and full-time faculty member. '... the draw of the iBooks has encouraged some of the more than 1,700 students at the university's main campus who would otherwise commute to live in dormitories, which makes the program a success in the university vice president's eyes.'" The students do not keep the computers, unless they finish two years in the honors program.

    They do this at a lot of colleges in Michigan in order to attract more students. It's really not anything new, why is this news?

    I know this screams offtopic, and I know these are just slashdot trolls, but does anyone else get a slight snicker out of these "Soviet Russia" posts? I've never made one, and I'll never make one, but occasionally I can't help but laugh.

    Anyone else have a guilty pleasure of occasionally enjoying trolls? Come on, fess up; I just did.
