Whats interesting about your school?

I go to Cal Poly Pomona for grad school with Bobby and I'll have to agree with some of what he wrote:

"at my school...if you drive down one street you will see cows. IF you drive down the other side you will see hookers. if you drive down another you will see a gang fight . "
True, you will see cows, horses, and even pigs, but I have yet to see hookers and gang fights... although, it IS Pomona... so I won't be surprised.

"my school has a ugly ass pointy building that points to LAX...for NO GODDAMN REASON"
Yes, this building is very, very strange. It reminds me of the end of the South Park movie when Saddam falls into hell and is impaled on the rock... like someone might fall out of the sky and get impaled on it. Creepy. Oh, and it's a nightmare to find your way around in that building as well. And I was informed by another student that a guy jumped off the 4th floor to kill himself, but didn't die immediately. Don't you think you'd go to the TOP floor if you were really that serious about it? Still gross...

"my school numbers its building instead of giving each building a name. on top of that, building 6 is near building 9 and 94. Each building is not in order...hence first timers are ALWAYS lost the first few weeks to class. "
This is by far the worst idea I've ever seen on any campus. Yes, each building is numbered, but most of them have no physical "number" on the outside of the building. And if it is there, it's either very small or placed obscurely near a door that you will NEVER USE. Bobby has been my offical Cal Poly tourguide. Thanks Bobby.

One other thing I don't like about this campus... there are 2 major freeways (10 and 57) and a highway (71) that border the campus. It is virtually impossible to directly get on either the 10 or the 71 unless you drive about a mile away from campus then get on the freaking freeway. There are a few entrances into the school, but only one way to really get out (57)... I only live 5 minutes from campus, but it takes me 20 to get home since there's no easy freeway access!
