If I were choosing a college to attend today, I would definitely consider Minnesota State University. The university administrators recently coordinated their campus's exercise facility and Information Technology department and made their exercise equipment computer-capable. Now, those who feel torn between homework and exercise don't have to choose. They can type a paper while they are working out. Don't think that people can't do this either; I know I could do it.

For those who aren't quite that coordinated (or, as in my case, determined), they can still check emails or surf the net. Some students on campus will be able to take quizzes for their health sciences classes while working out. However, at least one personal trainer doesn't like the new technology because she thinks working out should be a break from working. But I think this is great for people who previously thougth they had to choose-- or never made the choice of exercise.
