Extra Credit
September 7th, 2008 by WHO WAS PHONE?
A university in Canada has two unusual things about it. One is a series of tunnels running under all the buildings. These were built for convenience in transporting things from one building to the next, and for students traveling from class to class during the winter. One building, the experimental psychology building was never attached to this tunnel system. There is only one door out of the building, and a keycode is needed to enter or leave.
The second unusual thing is that all first year psychology students are encouraged to submit their names to the experimental psychology department to be test subjects for harmless research. And for extra credit of course.

Fun fact: at Ohio State University, to pass Psychology 101 you are required to volunteer for a certain amount of experiments (I think it was 7, but I can’t recall anymore - It was a few years ago that I was in that class). I ended up having to drop that class because I was too busy with work and school to squeeze in a bunch of random psych experiments, so I wonder what sort of things they involved?
But yeah, this one reminded me of that fact. I wonder if that policy is really that uncommon? Either way, it has potential for your imagination to go wild when you’re thinking about why…

I really adore how vague this is, with the many implications that that vagueness holds… (:

I like this one. My school has tunnels running through most of the buildings (although not all), which we students can use whenever we want. Made me think of that

This is nice. It’s realistic, since a lot of schools have those tunnels, and psych classes do that kind of thing. I like it.

It let’s your imagination have some fun.

Not really scary…for some reason it made me think of the book Firestarter, and the whole situation in it with a guy volunteering for ‘harmless research’ that gives him psychic powers and causes his first born daughter to be really mixed up.

Parts of this is true at my university. If you have been to Ryerson University, all the buildings are connected to tunnels, and not only psychology students are encouraged to go do experiments. They are flyers around the campus to do various experiments. I never seen the psychology building but there is a psychology department. Hmmm… I wonder.

Sounds like the University of Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada) where I go…never seen any ads for experiments though. The odd ghost story floats around…
