Are freshmen the greenest thing you can find on your college campus?

The Bite:
So transfer. But first, study up on which colleges are so eco-progressive that the frosh are the least green thing on campus.
The Benefits: 
  • Getting more than just an education. Some schools connect you to community service opportunities, offer green-certified dorms, and even use or provide access to campus-grown produce.
  • Money well spent. You'll be paying back student loans for years anyway, so at least pay that average of $5,836 in tuition per year (or, eek, $22,218 for private college students) to greener administrations.
  • More livable campuses. Soak up the good vibes that come with a fairly paid staff, recycling program, and boards that invest campus funds in socially responsible investments.
Personally Speaking: 
If the Biter team had to do it all over again, Harvard would be the place, since it has more green-certified buildings than any other university, uses renewable energy, and offers campus-wide recycling. But that's just us.
