Hmm, this sounds weird to say, but it never occured to me that most 
students would start from the institutional home page, or really ever 
visit the institutional home page at all. Largely because most 
institutional home pages are nearly useless for current affiliates of 
the institution, but are instead perhaps marketting brochures for 
prospectives.

I wonder how many students or other current affiliates actually start at 
institutional home pages how often.
