Catching College — Maggie Slater

What if universities were massive machines, and the only way to gain admittance were to chase them down and catch them…or die trying?

But faced with a tracked behemoth big enough to crush several city blocks, she must reckon with the reality of her dreams, and whether the risk is worth it.
