Holy thread resurrection! At least it's a good one. Man, I went back and looked at my post..from my Sophomore year. OC now has a new science building, a new art building, a new dorm, a new stadium, and they're building a new equine facility.

But I think for kicks, here's some pictures of my graduate school, The University of Glasgow.

The Gilbert Scott building. Gothic revival, fae the win! It's an easy place to get lost, because it has turrets, weird hallways and split levels retrofitted into it.

The cloisters inside the Gilbert Scott

The West quadrangle in the Gilbert Scott, with the chapel off to the right hand side



The Library (the big tall building, which is hideously ugly, but has 12 floors of books...anything and everything you can possibly want in print) which is attached to the Hunterian Art Gallery (with the green roof, also houses C.R. Mackintosh's house!). The row houses at the bottom are various departments and lecture halls. They look tiny, but they're MASSIVE inside.


Inside the chapel, where a lot of alumni choose to get married. (taken w/ plastic camera)


Glasgow has 2 unions, and you have to chose which one you want to join. Women used to only belong to the Queen Margaret Union, as the Glasgow University Union restricted membership to men. Both now admit both genders, but there's a definite "culture" to each union. I'm a member of the QMU.
The QM...which is pretty ugly.

The Glasgow University Union (known as the GU). It's the older of the two, with a building to match. Beautiful on the inside...what you can't see in this picture is the Annex, which houses 12 bars (yes, 12).


The Adam Smith Building

Brand new medical building, Wolfson Hall


Lilybank House, built by an architect known as Alexander "Greek" Thompson. It's beautiful...pity the stone has taken a beating from environmental factors.


*sigh*
I miss uni!
