Americans Apart

I remember visiting University of Philadelphia and asking second year students how to get to the subway (I later found out that it was only a 10 minute walk from the campus) and learning that they had never used it or rarely left the campus (very sad considering the historical treasures, diverse cultures and great food of downtown philadelphia). Of course, from what I understand this extreme segregation of classes and cultures is prevalent in the City of Brotherly Love...
