What is the most remarkable experience you had in college

I had a great experience of starting up a carpool company in NCNU. In addition, participated in the process of brainstorming an innovative idea and business model. Here was how the story started. Once, five of us (team members) went home by bus. During the trip, we started to debate on which topic will be used in TIC100 Competition. After our arguments, we came out no results. We were just too tired to think of any topics. However, we started to complain of the bus which we sat on. “Why it takes so long?”, “Why the seats are so uncomfortable?”, “And please tell me why we have to watch this boring and noisy movie!” Suddenly, we stopped shouting and looked at each other. “Bingo! Let us solve these problems!” I said.
Everything works well after we decided our topic, but two major problems lied ahead. First, we need to outsource our website development since we do not have skills to develop an asp website. Second, we do not have the experience of running a real company. Fortunately, we hired four graduate students in Information Management Department who are interested in our business model. We faced lots of problems but none of them could defeat us because of our positive and reliable attitude. We opened our company on 28, May 2006 and gathered 3,000 or more viewers within a week. The process was time-consuming, but full of wonders and sweats.
