I have always dreamed of having a segway but then I found out that you can't operate them on public property.
If they are dangerous why do they allow seniors to driver rascal scooters?
Answer
For the same reasons that they cannot be used in public in the UK: they are motorised vehicles, but do not count as pavement-legal invalid scooters so cannot be used on pavements (US = sidewalks) and for road use they don't comply with the construction and use regulations so cannot be registered and insured (and taxed!) as road vehicles. They're also too heavy and cannot be propelled by the operator alone (such as by pedalling) to be classed as electric bicycles which are otherwise exempt from almost all contruction and use regulations.
The UK and Canada are not alone in the fact that Segways are effectively banned simply because they do not fall within any legislation which permits their use.
If they were more widely owned then there would likely be political pressure to get the laws changed, but for as long as they cost the same as a basic electric micro-car, tend to have a much shorter lifespan, appear to be horribly unreliable and very expensive to fix they will remain as a toy for rich people with their own places to use them.

Im a little stuck can anyone help me describe how an Early explorer such as Sir Walter Raleigh or anyone else would describe a modern american college campus from their perspective? thanks! just need something to get the brain cells going
Answer
Interesting kind of Sci-Fi/Fantasy question. It might depend on how they found it - time travel, parallel universe etc. I mean, whether they were taken from their world and dropped into ours, or whether the campus was dropped in theirs so that somehow they came ashore from a ship and found it. Whether they had to question their whole world view, or had just found a new thing.
Anyhow, they might be surprised by the uniformity of dress between men and women, the apparent equality, and the multicultural aspects of so many people of different races and ethnic backgrounds studying together. Also probably the sheer size and numbers of people, and obvious technical innovations like electric lights, cars, bicycles, iPads, and the absence of animals.
The population of Harvard is about the same as that of London (UK) in 1200 AD
