The Pub - Discuss Anything

Those are some nice buildings. The ones at mine are eyesores, bar a few new buildings.

They are alright, shit if compared to American or European Universities (even top Asian ones).

Also, those are the cool ones. If I showed you the humanities building (Philosophy, History, Geography, Psychology, etc), you would cringe. As it was to be expected, Engineering, Law and Medical Schools all receive an enormous amount of money from both the government and donations. The rest has to live with a very tight budget. For instance, the Mechanical and Naval Engineering building is worth 5x times more than all the other buildings in the humanities department. One of the labs was donated by Bill Gates!

EDIT: The Architecture building is by far the best one, but it is being redone, so all the photos I tried to find are computer simulations, arrgggh.

EDIT 2: USP is a public university, so students dont have to pay tuitions. All the money comes from the taxes and donations...

The worst building at my uni is primarily for arts as well. It's by far the filthiest-looking building I've seen, and it's also one of the most conspicuous buildings on the campus. We also have a general-purpose building where people hang out and stuff, and that thing looks ok on the outside, but the interior design is just horrible. It's so poorly designed that I think it has some hazards near entrance and should be shut down. They're building a new one, but buildings take forever to build in Canada, so I'm not going to be able to use the water slide they're building on its side.

No generalizing!! I like blue!!! Most of my friends don't like pink either...........

Not all of us do, I personally detest most shades of the color except the very pale ones... So they are more white! Oh, my daughter is just like her momma her favorite color is BLUE

@Backstreet and anyone else taking their a level/AP/IB/GCSE/iGCSE or year end exams

Good Luck on your exams. I hope you exceed your wildest expectations!!

Actually studies show that girls liking pink is not just a society or marketing thing, but rather something biological: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1654371,00.html

Did I infect you with an interest in evolutionary psychology @choulo19 ?

It's still early days, but I'm definitely showing signs of infection!

@Rmpr, some nice buildings there!

Here's the area where I study, the building is the one next to the rather big chimney on the left. The way too expensive apartment of mine can also be seen in this picture so it's pretty close to the campus, less than 200 meters. It's one of the finest residential areas in town so there's hardly any other students living here, most live somewhere on the other side of the lake, but I chose to pay a little extra to get closer to the campus and also to the city center which is there on the left but just cropped out of the picture. A small town, only around 150 000 people but a quarter of them students so the atmosphere is nice.

Oh well, I have never been accused of a girly girl, I don't where makeup often when I do it is mascara, lip gloss and maybe bronzer but only if my husband and I are going somewhere special LOL I tell my hairdresser if she gives me a style that takes me more than 15 minutes to do then it won't happen, I'd rather watch a football match than shop, and I prefer shorts and a t-shirt to being in a dress and all dolled up

What you see is what you get and I am honest to a fault (sometimes too honest)

I just have one question for you: Is there a 20yo single version of you, because I'd marry her on the spot!
