I'm a grad student, I've been a university student for the better part of the last decade, and let me tell you this: the most universally disliked piece of software on campus is always whatever dreck they make us use for Web services. Admittedly, Google+ is at least modern and attractively engineered, but that misses the point. The point is that students rarely use the social network their university gives them unless their grade depends on it - the university administration seems to be thinking "hmm, kids these days are on the Web a lot, let's give them a Web site", while the students roll their eyes and use Facebook/Twitter/BBM/whatever to get together and get their work done, rather than logging into some extra site to do things they can already do in their existing Web flow.
