Many students (especially at DP) think that making student games puts them on equal footing with professionals. It is unfortunate. However, I think being at this type of event can be beneficial to a student as long as he/she understands to keep quiet dusing sessions/panels and just *learn*. Hell, I am a year out of school with a soon-to-be-shipped game right around the corner, and I'm still planning on just being a sponge at OGDC =) Here's hoping that OGDC will be a success and beneficial to everyone involved.
