Feedback on left right scrolling

Hi everyone!

I work for the University of Oregon and my focus is primarily on our 
Enrollment Services branch...   One of the staff members there saw a page 
that really impressed her.

http://www.buffalo.edu/admissions/freshman

Customization stuff and content aside...  check out the "My Life" Pages on 
the right

The pages scroll left to right.  The admissions folks seem to really like 
this, my question is what do all you experts think.  My gut reaction was to 
say "I don't know if that scrolling side to side is a good thing" its not 
intuitive to people who have been using the web...

Visually it seems to work okay (with their backgrounds) but do you think 
that web users are ready for changes like this.  Anyhow, thanks in advance 
for your comments.

-Michelle
