Keep in mind that many (most?) of these students live in buildings with elevators, and occassionally escalators, so they might be less of a "novelty".
Brings back memories of UW Madison - in the freshman dorms - the derision we heaped on the few yokels that felt compelled to press every button in the elevator. Thankfully the novelty of that wore off after a few weeks.
