Between classes, research, study sessions, and everything happening beyond campus, college life can keep you moving.
And while an electric scooter won’t finish your assignments or make your deadlines disappear, it might make getting from one place to another a lot more enjoyable.
For these students, Segway electric scooters have become part of their daily routines, whether they’re heading across campus, taking a break from research, or finding an excuse to get outside.
In one case, a single scooter sparked enough interest that all three roommates ended up with their own rides.

“I’m currently in my junior year of college, and Segway has been a huge part of my college experience since day one.”
“During my freshman and sophomore years, I rode my Segway MAX G2 all over campus, putting thousands of miles on it. It became my go-to way to get to class, and get around College Station.”
“So, when the new MAX G3 Plus came out this past summer, I knew I had to get one. I finally decided to upgrade, and I’ve been loving it ever since!”
“But the Segway doesn’t stop with me!”
“My one roommate ended up getting a MAX G2 after I convinced him to try mine out. Once he experienced how comfortable and convenient it was to ride, he was sold!”
“My other roommate was looking for something a little more affordable, so I recommended the E2 Pro.”
“Now all three of us have Segways”

“These days, my Max G3 Plus feels like it’s become part of my survival kit. I’m juggling a part-time job while working toward my PhD in organic chemistry in Utah, so my days can get ridiculously packed.”
“The Max G3 Plus has made those short journeys so much easier. I can just grab it and go instead of getting the car ready for a five-minute errand.”
“It also gives me a little breathing room between work, research, and everything else competing for my attention.”
“Honestly, when you’re balancing experiments, deadlines, work shifts, and trying to have a life outside the lab, anything that makes the daily routine simpler is a win. For me, this has become my little shortcut through the chaos.”
Making Room for Life Between Classes
College life doesn’t exactly come with a shortage of things to do. But even with busy schedules, there’s still room to enjoy the ride.
For these students, their scooters have become more than a way to get around. They’re a chance to step outside, take a break, and make the most of life beyond the classroom.
Just don’t be surprised if your roommates want one, too.
