UCD

I finally took my camera to campus so here are a few pictures of my campus. You will notice a "modern" theme to most of the buildings....which I find ironic that something can be modern but kind of old school at the same time. I must say I am grateful to not be living on campus. I do not feel like the campus reflects the vibe of Dublin at all. And as beautiful and green as Ireland is you don't get that feeling much on campus probably because it is winter but also because of the endless amounts of concrete used everywhere. Anyway, hope you enjoy another small glimpse into my life here!

A building I do nothing in....however, this is where Sue Philpott's office is who is more or less my academic adviser.

This building holds the main cafeteria and the Global Lounge which is a lounge for the international students.

The library...I think.

Since it rains here so often most of the walkways have these concrete overhangs....useful but ugly in my opinion.

The double-decker buses I ride to school everyday.

The "lake" which is kind of removed from the main traffic area so is quite but also not utilized. Pretty none the less though.

It is about a 15 minute walk from my bus stop on campus to the other side of campus where I have my architecture classes. This is a covered soccer area which is probably one of my favorite parts of my walk because I love seeing all the different people using. This day it was a little kids' P.E. class....so cute!

This is "Richview" which is the name for the architecture part of campus which is rather removed from the rest of campus.

So this building is right next to Richview but isn't part of the campus...I just wanted to add it cause I think it is an awesome looking building :) I think it is like a math and science research building or something.

This is one side of our architecture library.

The modern building on the Richview campus...I'm not sure how I feel about this one design wise. This is where I have my History of Planning class (a.k.a. my favorite class).

This is the building that houses all of the studios. It faces the courtyard I was standing in when I took this picture. Most of the buildings of Richview surround this courtyard.

This is the other side of the architecture library which faces the courtyard.
