A BSTRACT . The author writes of her experiences as a graduate student at Virginia Tech during the high productivity years of the public choice enterprise. She discusses peer effects on learning and productivity, and the environment created by the Buchanan and Tullock team and their colleagues. She notes that in the current competitive situation it may be difficult for institutions of higher learning to justify the immeasurable academic and intellectual benefits of groups similar to the Center for the Study of Public Choice in Blacksburg.
