What do you look for in a university? Climbing walls? Pool slides?

Article in today's NY Times talks about a new trend in colleges and universities, enhancing their recreation and entertainment facilities to attract more (and presumably, "better") students. Jacuzzis, room-sized golf simulators, on-campus nightclubs. To be paid for out of student fees - "chosen" by the students currently enrolled at those schools, but involuntarily imposed on students coming to school for the next few decades.

I suppose that if these schools aren't willing to improve the quality of the education they're imparting to their students, they may as well do a bang-up job of entertaining them.
