Passwords are Like Underwear... Almost anything you do online these days requires a password, from logging into your Facebook account to conducting your online banking.

You couldn't *not* be exposed because of how small the community was. At the larger university, it was much easier to go off and do your own thing, to not interact as much with groups outside of your interest, given the sheer size of the community. But still, as you walked across the lawn or through the student union or read the newspaper and saw fliers hanging everywhere, you were at least exposed to *some* of it. But Reddit?
