10 kids from Washington County fell through a grate during a campus tour.
3 were taken to a hospital and 7 were treated for minor injuries at the scene. I'm trying to think of where this might have been?

Why I always walk around grates. Simple risk/reward calculation.

Sounds like they might have fallen into full-ride offers from VT
But both sides agree not for architecture, physics or engineering

Kind of a weird spot to be standing.

Why stand in the sun if you can sit in the shade?
or sit in a shaded hole. I was always leery of the utility panel in the sidewalk on Draper Rd, near the Rivermill / BS&T. It's a trap door waiting to happen.

It really was a grate experience.

Do you think they fell in love with VT?
