I've always thought education would be an outstanding place for bitcoin.

Think about the number of international students that are paying via methods that schools/universities are losing money. Plus, if educational institutions were to get involved (with whom a majority of students are within the 18-25 age group) we could see a large amount of publicity/widespread adoption in the future.

Getting started at schools really wouldn't be that difficult either; it would just be as simple as creating a club at the school and slowly getting the community involved with it. The thing about college students is they're extremely social. They talk, they share, AND when they go back home they spread the information further.

I plan on starting a club at my school this next fall. I figure if i can get some funding from the school, i can give out charitable donations to local businesses in bitcoin; basically forcing them to learn about/use this wonderful currency.
