Jeeves on Campus

- June 24, 2009

bq. But at High Point University, a small liberal arts college in North Carolina, spoiling the students may be exactly the point of valet. The campus, in addition to boasting a valet service, is home to a free ice cream truck, a concierge desk, and a giant hot tub in the middle of campus. Since the beginning of the administration of High Point President Nido Qubein, the noted businessman and motivational speaker has sought to “wow” students in order to encourage their learning.

Well, as someone who grew up 30 minutes from High Point University, consider me “wowed.” As in, “Wow, that’s absurd.”

The whole article, which also discusses valet service at schools like Florida Atlantic and USC, is here. I was sort of appalled when I found out that some GW students were sending out their laundry to a company called “Soapy Joe’s.” But by the standards of High Point University, GW students are practically roughing it.
