I’m a freshman, and even I know that you don’t take the elevator to the second or third floor (I wanted to kill the person who did it while I was taking the elevator). I walked all the way up those awful stairs to my eighth floor class because the elevator lines were like thirty people long at 3:30 in the afternoon! I was in the same situation as you, Charlie - I would have been late if I’d waited for the elevator. Has it never been this bad before?

I’m so glad someone else noticed the insanity of this - I had class here this summer also, and am forever spoiled. By Thursday afternoon, I thought I was going to cry if I had to stand in another line! The shuttles are crowded beyond capacity, Silver is a pure nightmare, and I don’t think I’m going to be able to set foot on the 3rd floor of Kimmel for a few weeks at least after my experience at lunch on Wednesday. Personally, I’m banking on tons of people (maybe the alarmingly enthusiastic freshmen) skipping more and more classes over the next few weeks…

I was stunned today by the number of people lined up for the elevators. I walked to the 8th floor because I would have been 10 minutes late if I waited. Seems too busy. I think it’s just cause it’s early in the year. At least I hope..

High five, Jennifer. The same horrifying incidence occurred yesterday in the elevator — a girl took the elevator to the second floor. Unfortunately, I lacked the testicles to say anything to her face but commented about her laziness/lack of elevator etiquette as soon as she left. Maybe it was the same person.

it definitely seemed more crowded today. A girl came up to me in the elevator and said… does this go to floor 2? i stared at her in horror and said, “No, take the stairs.”… I can be so mean

I have my first Silver class today at 4:55. I hope it’s late enough that Silver isn’t this ridiculous. It’s like, when the line is THAT long, my already-miniscule desire to actually go to class only diminishes more. On several occasions last year I woke up, got all ready, went to Silver, saw a mob scene, and promptly ditched class. This year I may not even do the waking up part.

(Kidding, mom and dad!)

Still beats the throngs of sweaty kids in my high school hallways. But I don’t take NYU elevators; it’s worth it just to walk.

Anyway, the real mob scene is in the cloud of smoke outside Silver, no?
