Trip Report, Rensselaer Polytecnic Institute (Long)

<p>"Much nicer than the Best Western in Troy"</p>

<p>Ah, the Best Western. . . we stayed there when we visited RPI, since we could walk to the campus and wouldn't need a car. Probably the highlight of our time in Troy was that numerous dogs were staying at the Best Western, for a dog show in Albany. The hotel's decor and general appearance would not be harmed by a few dozen dogs spending the weekend there.</p>

<p>Our tour guide explained that the male - female ratio wasn't as bad as it sounded, because many of the males students spent a lot of time with video games, and were therefore out of the competitive pool.</p>
