Re: What was life at your college/university like?

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2016-06-19 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I went to a small to mid-size university (graduating class of around 4000). Class sizes themselves were between 20 and 250, depending on the lecture hall and whether or not it was an upper level course. The campus itself was a fairly decent size, designed to be walked from one side to the other in ten minutes (really it was more like 7 if you walked fast).

Lots of buildings which weere in good condition; most of them older but a few new ones. Beautiful grounds. I never lived on campus, which was the norm for most students. The common thing to do was to rent a basement suite near the university with friends. For those who did live in residence, I heard the dining facilities were adequate. There were honestly more options than I can count for getting food, including 5 grocery stores very near the campus.

Lab space was ...not the best lol but it was certainly adequate. We had enough equipment for proper teaching even though some of it was fairly ancient.

Honestly, I loved where I went to school. It was just small enough to feel intimate when it needed to be, with profs who were easy to approach for the most part and a very open, welcoming community if that was your goal. Networking seemed to occur pretty naturally (but that may have simply been my experience as an honours student). It was also just large enough that it was possible to totally retain your anonymity if you wanted to. On that note, running into someone you didn't want to run into was something that almost never happened, and you could easily pretend you didn't see them and continue past with the way the campus was set up (the grounds between classes were huge and open, and so were the halls).

tl;dr my undergrad was absolutely lovely.
