Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, plus many movies have been filmed on our campus (Wilmington has the third largest movie production studio in the US)
on a side note, Val Kilmer tried to get into one of our social functions downtown once but he couldnt get in because it was a closed event

I drove past your campus last weekend, and I think it's beautiful!
I'm a University of Hawaii alumna. Not too many people know this, but the University system is comprised of 3 main campuses (Manoa, Hilo, and West-Oahu) and 7 community colleges (Kapi`olani, Honolulu, Leeward, Windward, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island).
Aside from the stellar research facilities UH boasts (Dr. Yanagimachi's mice cloning in 98), our crown jewel seems to be the
East-West Center, an internationally recognized center for promoting Asian-Pacific/American relations. President Eisenhower dedicated the site in 1960, only one year after Hawai`i joined the Union.
EWC also has what I think are the most beautiful spots on campus:
Japanese Gardens
...and the Thai Pavilion (that I can't find a picture for), a gift to the people of Hawaii from the King of Thailand (who was born on American soil) in 1967.
