Gah! Stop looking at my college!

This is a new sports center they're building. That's where all my money has been thrown into, unfortunately. We don't even have a football team.

This is the wing where my english class is.

This is the Berrie Center.. our Visual/Performing arts building. Very nice place. The two pictures indoors were taken on the 3rd floor, where I take my art class. The picture where you're looking down is a glass wall.. that looks down to a second floor catwalk to one of the theaters and also to the exit outside on the first floor. Very weird architecture. But very fun.

Ahhh!!!

/me busts out flame thrower and chainsaw.

I have a 21 inch monitor at work, and even I can't handle the cinematic majesty that is Glue's post!

*In blatant disregard for suggestions to pm Glue and suggest resizing, neil instead hacks at the edges with his chainsaw while at the same time threatening Glue with his flamethrower

/me thinks better of it, put away the flame thrower, and instead huggles Glue.

*but keeps hacking at the pictures anyway.

Our new campus center (designed by Rem Koolhaas) is the pwn.

And yes, that is a very loud CTA train running right over the roof of the building. The snazzy tube muffles the sound very well

This is where the pool tables and arcade games are now. That silver thing on the roof is the tube... the L train is just feet above this location

That's Mies Van Der Rohe's portrait on the front of the building.

Except for this building and the new dorms (designed by Helmut Jahn), our campus is butt ugly.

Wow. That looks snazzy. Very hi-tech.

And here are the new dorms. Only half occupied because the school is passing the cost of construction on to the residents.

Guard glass keeps the train quiet

Ooooh, real on-campus trees.....

But don't look at the old dorms. 1960's prison-style rooms.

Thank God I was a commuter...

amlthrawn - Wow!
Glasgow Uni is shitty but here are some pics anyway

The main building

The arse end of the Uni, I really just included this for the rarity value of Glaswegians sunbathing

A huge metal T-Rex in the grounds
No I don't know why either

That really cool...the dorms look nicer than mine even though I have a kitchen..

aml's dorms look nicer than my house...

Woah, Rorschach. LOVE the architecture. They use a similar style over at the University of Chicago (theirs is Gothic revival... I'm sure yours is the original stuff).

And don't be fooled by the dorm pics. Those are the ones posted on the website. YOu can be sure they really don't look as nice as that.

I am a commuter, so I'll never know...

Hmm... wonder if I should take pictures of Algonquin, even though I don't really go there anymore...

Not terribly interesting though...

Woah.... *jaw drops* these are a hell lot nicer than ours.. even though OSU is working on it, they've got nothing on your schools

Glosgow uni is a beautiful university.. a year or so ago I was considering going there in the study abroad program. It's so pretty in scotland but I know that I couldn't handle the winter, and I might not want to come home.

Hey, one of my ex's wanted to go to Algonquin. I never did see pictures. I am curious, would you mind posting them?

Algonquin in Ottawa?

(Er... Nepean? =P)

Uh...I've got a 19" monitor at a meager 1600x1200 resolution (I prefer 1920x1440), and I don't even have horizontal scroll bars, much less a problem viewing the images.
