yeah... wow!

Just remember the best looking parts are not the law school Law school is pretty much in the corner of the campus. But of course the whole campus is within walking distance and you are welcome to utilize any part of it. I don't know if law students just stay around the law school, but the rest of the school is very much mixed together. I have classes in 3 different parts of the campus. Most of the buildings are very magnificent.

OP updated! Thanks for the pics azn and akili!

+1 this is awesome

Definitely very nice.

Maybe it's because I actually live in Philly, but I happen to think Penn is quite ugly.

np, thanks eski! awesome thread!!

Yes - word! And also still hoping for some Columbia interior shots!

Happened to be around Columbia today so I thought I'd try to take some shots of the inside of the law building at Columbia.

That place is like a fortress! I don't know if it was cuz it's the weekend, but you need keycards just to get into the building and even to use the elevators. I managed to catch a door as someone was leaving and snap some shots inside, but I couldn't really get anywhere in the building. Here are some pics though! Sorry about some of the blurriness...was trying not to be too obvious haha

Thanks Azn! You're awesome.

Thanks man! I actually think it looks pretty nice, a lot better than what I thought.

Now if I could get that envelope...

r6, this is one of those rare times I gotta disagree with you.. compared to other law schools, this is pretty fugly.

(Still want the envelope though.. lol)

This. Not a pretty place.

That being said, LET ME IN.

Also - OP updated!

lol it isn't pretty, but has a bare utilitarian feel, but better than the concrete at Boalt. I think I like the WTC look, the statue out front, and the wood paneling.

Yeah, general impressions when I was inside....

It was like an aging but refurbished office building. Some spots definitely showed age and looked pretty crappy like the elevators which were dark and small. The nicer areas looked...tacked on - some wood paneling, stainless steel attachments added to make the building look more modern. Overall, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be inside (based on the outside), but it was the most....normal, sterile, and office-y law school I've seen.

Yeah, not very pretty Whyyy can't it be like the rest of the Columbia campus??

Still want my VCE, though. Bah!

University of Washington anyone?

Does anyone have University of Maryland pics please?

CLS is nice and has a modern feel with modern amenities. If you went to a State School you can appreciate the law school hall for sure.

The pictures probably feel sterile because they are taken at night (you only see artificial lighting in a building designed to channel sunlight) with empty halls with a poor choice of indoor shots (sorry for the critique).

Along with the lobby and Lenfest Cafe, there are some 'defining' shots missing from the posted photos. I like the outdoor ones though.

Our photographer was kind of just sneaking around and couldn't get access everywhere, so that probably explains the limited views/lack of the pretty places

It would be priceless if that led to some sort of of addendum writing.

You should def take and post some pics for the thread. Tyia

Yeah! Please help fill in the gaps! There's so few cls pics available! As dulc said...our photographer *ahem* had shady and limited access

Some more interior shots of Columbia (found through some flickr searching)

Anyone have pics of Fordham??
