I get your point, but I just want to assure the DMV folks that they have had running water & flush toilets in Kansas for at least a decade now. And in most counties they no longer have to climb up the telephone pole to make a call as was depicted on Green Acres. [/quote]

I'm the PP and I'm originally from the midwest.  I have young cousins now in rural areas going on and on about how good some random fast casual restaurant is --  when a town a couple of towns away from theirs got a Chipotle they talked about its impending arrival for 2 years.   Their families would drive 50 miles to go shopping and to something like a Cheesecake Factory.  So now they or their kids are going to their respective colleges and are blown away by the  variety offered by the usual Sodexo fare, which my kids are turning their noses up at after a lifetime in the DMV.  Fill up a college with kids with similar life experiences and they will be far happier with their "quality of life" than kids who are used to more.

I WISH my kids were that easily pleased--I'm still a midwesterner at heart and I think the cafeteria food at all these schools--even the ones the kids rank awful-- is a million times better than my own dorm food back in the day.[/quote]
