We have one member that's in school full time (Rollins). He comes to do his homework, network with other members, and ask questions about Ruby on Rails. He found us, but thinks that if we were closer to UCF we'd be able to attract a lot more 'young blood'. Your biggest hurdle will be in showing the value in a membership over the ratty wifi at the local coffee house (where most of them are grabbing internet, when not on campus). Also, internet speed matters.
