I so want to do this in college.

The student, Nic Ramos, paid his entire spring semester tuition ? all $14,309.51 of it ? using dollar bills, a 50-cent piece and a penny.

It took Mr. Ramos two days to withdraw the money from several banks. He said that when he walked into the bursar?s office on Friday morning with a 33-pound duffel bag full of cash, the tellers were stunned.

According to a university spokesman, Bronson Hilliard, it took three people nearly an hour to count the money.

Here is a video interview with him.

Fun idea, but I can't help but wonder what all of those people could have done with their time that was much more productive.

He wasted days of his time, hours of several bank's time, and an hour of multiple college employees' time.

If I was in line behind him and had important issues to attend to, I'd have been pissed.
