What happens to the campus when a liberal arts college shuts down? In Green Mountain College's case it seems like they're looking for a buyer to the tune of $20 million or so. [0] I think it'd be pretty rad if old college campuses turned into hubs for remote workers; who's working on that?

There's something perverse about a liberal arts college campus being repurposed for co-working.

This sounds fantastically interesting, and I could see it being successful. Basically — go live in a (literally) college like setting, but you have a source of income. I would do it. Hit me up if you want to chat about this idea.

  The school probably already has a fat internet pipe, too. Maybe this is the kind of thing a town would want to finance for a short period of time. Maybe you set it up as a co-op with the town? What a fun idea, lol.

Once there is a place I’m supposed to go to work remotely, am I still working remotely? Complete Side note- I think there must be a market selling RVs to remote workers that work well as home offices. I converted a shed to a home office, but I spent almost as much as a similarly sized RV even after doing a lot of the work myself. The RV has the advantage of being easy to deliver, avoids building code restrictions, can come well wired for power and internet, and you get to have an RV.

  When they're self-driving, at least on highways, I'm never going to work from anything else ever again.
