WTF is an elder hostel?

[QUOTE=Over40NINER;261521]WTF is an elder hostel?[/QUOTE]
maybe a building for older alumni to beat each other up hostel style?

probably just a place for international students to stay if they come through charlotte.

football, campus village, light rail…all the things I really wish we had while I was here.

probably just a place for international students to stay if they come through charlotte.

this is exactly what i was thinking - that or for people who visit from other schools

i mean football breeds friends staying for the weekend, as many of us have personally experienced

I like seeing football on that list! I can’t help but think that if the results are released in 2008, but football is being included in a 2009 MP, that [B]football is a go[/B]… Man this place is going to be so different in another 15 years… I’'ll make sure to stick close.

It amazes me how much the campus changed form when I left in 95 to where it is now. I suspect that the next 10-15 will be that x 10. I truly feel like we are going to be around to see the transformation of UNCC from a small city school to a nationally recognized institution called Charlotte, which also happens to have a football team.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

nice post wb, but I don’t know why ya’ll are saying 10-15.

If we are at 35k in 12 more years, we’ll most likely be around 30K in the next 5, we’ll have to have new buildings for that. In 5 years we could have one and a half seasons of football completed. CRI will be twice the size it is now (if not more) in 5 years. While I don’t agree with it, light rail will be getting close to campus. The uptown building will be complete.

There is a lot going on that we don’t know about. I feel guilty sometimes for my criticizm of Dubois when I see stuff like this. He’s in the news for his patriotism to UNC and his love with light rail, but thats a handful of articles of a guy who probably works more than 60 weeks when school is in.

The link doesn’t work for me now.

I did see this though:

VISIONS AND VALUES FOR THE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN, APRIL 1995

Planning Assumptions

  1. A football stadium will be located adjacent to campus with relationship to public transportation.
