What My Students Probably Do When I’m Not Looking

I stumbled across this guide to steam tunneling at Stanford.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept, steam tunneling is an old college pastime wherein students crawl around in the tunnels that run under campus.

I had two thoughts:
1) How cool.
2) I bet a large percentage of my male students have done this.

I am very confident of number two because I know have students who have nefariously rappelled down the side of buildings on campus. And that’s way less a part of the college tradition than exploring tunnels.
