In RIT the deer used to hang out in the large, open lawn that was the entrance. It was like a big, oval rotary, except with nice, well-organized traffic patterns. Every spring and fall, incipient RIT parents thought "oh my! How lovely! What wonderful, happy, innocent looking deer. My child will frolic and be educated here among these cheerful critters in touch with the forest and yet up to date on the latest technology. Nothing bad could happen to a student in this Bambi movie like environment!"
Every winter. some new RIT parent got a bill for his child's completely destroyed car along with the RIT tuition as Stupid Deer, Stupid College Student and Rochester Ice do not mix. Those who got the inside scoop religiously used the side entrances, which were generally deer-free.
